Escalante en Dansa València
Calentamiento is a representation of slow combustion. It is sweat, breath, celebration, absence, love and above all, liberation: the liberation of perceiving tiredness as a state of pleasure. As my body ignites, a powerful, tectonic force rises from its inner darkness and from the ground itself, holding me tight to the earth so I can launch myself.
