The five artists performing The black body, the blue mind and the fluorescent guts

What do performers think while they dance on stage?

Sònia Gómez's choreography brings together dancers and performers in an unclassifiable show.

Magí Serra, Núria Guiu, Elisa Keisanen, Guillem Mont de Palol and Pere Jou will take the stage at Mercat de les Flors stage from October 28 to 31. Under the baton of the choreographer Sònia Gómez, they will attempt to answer the question: what does a dancer think while performing? The answer, however, won't be through the spoken word but through a hybrid movement resource that Gómez calls zoom or ENS. The show, hard to classify and define, is named The black body, the blue mind and the fluorescent guts – with its author and director aiming to "stage the representation within the representation" through this encounter between dancers and performers.

For the choreographer, the ENS is a way to move or dance that comes from the inside of the dancer's body, as well as their body when they come into contact with the other dancers, and it's new to both. Through the ENS, each performer builds their own path. The show is made up of six solos organised through a dramaturgy that makes the performers coincide in the themes, the occupation of space, the disorder, or the choreographic composition.

Sònia Gómez, dancer, performer and choreographer, studied at the Institut del Teatre and the P.A.R.T.S school in Brussels. She has been creating projects whose thematic axes include the construction of an identity or social impostures through art since 2004. Mi madre y yo and Experiencias con un desconocido are some of her multidisciplinary shows.
