Dinamo Danza: ‘Qualia’

The Zinetika Festival will feature Qualia, a notebook—a glossary of ideas, symbols, metaphors, and images—whose aim is to enrich our perspective on what we call reality. Light is the lifeblood of this project, the body is its focal point, and movement is the vehicle that has allowed us to journey along this path.

Why? When the model of quantum mechanics was developed a hundred years ago, it introduced a new way of observing reality that broke with the classical, binary worldview. A paradigm shift in thought began, along with a dizzying technological advance in which the virtual is gaining ground over the physical.

What place do we give the body within this new technological framework? In the current capitalist context, where the body is at the service of production and consumption, we seek to draw on scientific knowledge to reclaim the body as a free territory, stripped of roles defined by gender, class, or race.
A body capable of generating new realities, whose immensity remains yet to be discovered.

What is it about? The body, deeply connected to light, is presented as the materialization of universal forces—an energetic entity that interacts with the universe it inhabits.

The body. We tend to think of the body as the matter that is visible (the contours), that which can be seen but to which we have no visual access (everything from the skin inward), and that which is invisible (energy fields, frequencies, thoughts…).
And in its entirety, a constant flow of energy that merges with the light that surrounds it.

Science. How can the new foundations of physics offer different perspectives on the classical way of perceiving the body?
