LuzLíquida is developed in the framework of THEATRE IN PALM, a European platform, which brings together 12 partners from all over Europe to collaborate in the promotion and support of emerging artists in the field of performing and performing arts. This platform, of which Espronceda is a partner, aims to be an open and intercultural space for the performing arts that allows the circulation of artists and the promotion of innovative projects beyond European borders.

SYNOPSIS
Through a suggestive and poetic journey to the depths of the sea, the public lives a dreamlike and didactic experience that shows the consequences of waste production. Everything is developed in an interdisciplinary language that combines the concepts of dance, theater and installations. The piece as a whole plays with light and darkness, allowing the audience to approach the bioluminescence of the creatures of the seabed through the costumes and the movement of the dancers, which creates a mysterious and enveloping atmosphere.
ARTISTIC CONCEPT
The core of the Inervo Company’s artistic language is interdisciplinary research in which dance, theater, performance and installation work together to develop the company’s own language.
They focus on topics such as ecology, feminism and science. Inervo creates dreamlike performances on the border between the dystopian and the real that lead us to reflect on relevant contemporary issues. Most of the material used in his scenographies tries to respect as much as possible the principles of sustainability in order to reduce the possible environmental impact. In the case of Oceanida, for example, the research carried out in the field of lighting and the work that has been done to apply it to the costumes, with the aim of creating sustainable lighting generated by the performers themselves, can be considered of particular relevance. In addition, the scenography uses biodegradable and water-soluble materials, thanks to the collaboration with Green Cycles.
