Heuristic.
In our job is basical the involvement with people, places and communities. There is an express intention to delve into social spaces where cadences elucidate certain forms of state, the ways of being in this world become possible. There is also a dual background in our interest. On the one hand we have the economic, political and ideological support these areas of the human, on the other possibilities that the various techniques that we turn to formalize our offer we work in establishing new relationships between people and world we inhabit. In the folds of artifice created the fictional and real, the plot and how vital they overlap. Our performances, walking between the natural and forced small accidents trigger singular nomads constitute meaningful units, in combat with their own methods of procedure, with its own functions, with their own objectives.
