The company La Sísmica presents the progress of their project "El yo, el tú y los seísmos" (Me, You and the Earthquakes) after ten days at La Salita in the Auditorio de Tenerife

 

The Company La Sísmica, formed by Koset Quintana and Yiyo Ramírez, is presenting the progress of its project El yo, el tú y los seísmos (Me, You and the Earthquakes) this Friday (17 January) at 7:30 p.m. at the Auditorio de Tenerife. This is the public showing of the work that the Canarian artists have been developing at La Salita since the 7th. This residency involves the collaboration of the Performing Arts and Citizenship Lab of Tenerife (LAV-C). Entry is free until the total capacity is reached.

Koset Quintana is focused on body movement, and Yiyo Ramírez is a juggling and circus specialist. Both artists have combined their disciplines to create a company that explores the relationship between the body, objects, and space. Both were educated in Performing Arts and have taken their acting training to new dimensions, blurring the boundaries between dance and circus and between any disciplines.

With El yo, el tú y los seísmos (Me, You and the Earthquakes), they wanted to build a relationship, create a new world, pursue what is common in the erratic, and forge a bond. This process embraces form and substance, from the handling of the object to the most bodily expression. Thus, the audience will witness the collision between two tectonic plates that come together and transform.

Koset Quintana and Yiyo Ramírez have created a unique piece that combines their two artistic worlds in a relational clash, intertwining the body and objects in a poetic dance. In this work, Quintana's movements are complemented by Ramírez’s actions, resulting in a visual dialogue that challenges expectations and explores new possibilities in performance art. Their collaboration showcases how merging different disciplines can create artistic experiences that embrace a variety of pathways.

Koset Quintana focuses on movement, investigating how the body can engage in a dialogue with space while also being perceived as an object within that space. This deep connection between the body’s potential and its representation is called into question, examining the extent to which our gestures are mere imitations.

Yiyo Ramírez specializes in object handling and contemporary juggling, pushing the boundaries of traditional circus conventions. His talent for transforming everyday objects into tools of artistic expression adds a layer of complexity to his work, inviting the audience to reconsider their relationship with the objects around them.

The artistic duo is responsible for the playwriting, staging, and performance of the piece. They are supported by Richy Gardez, who handles lighting and sound, Nuhacet Galván in charge of video, and René Cañón Cortés and Javi Pino overseeing photography.

This collaboration is part of the "Voice and Body" artistic residencies organized by the Auditorio de Tenerife for La Salita. It marks the beginning of a new partnership with the Laboratory of Live Arts and Citizenship of the Canary Islands (LAV-C). Under the direction of cultural leader Beatriz Bello and artist Darío Bardam, this project has scheduled three residencies for young, performance-oriented Canarian creators, the second of which corresponds to the work of La Sísmica. La Salita's program continues on 25 and 26 January at 7.30 p.m. with the performance of Un sublime error (A Sublime Mistake) by Needcompany. The tickets can be purchased at a single price of €8 on www.auditoriodetenerife.com, at the auditorium's box office, or by dialling the phone number 902 317 327, from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
