Hammamturgia, generates and captures the flow of bodies and things in space, a succession that does not explain anything, but rather proposes and activates transformations, a choreographic work that works with space and time We understand hammamturgy as the other part of dramaturgy. Dramaturgy would thus be the action of creating, composing and performing a play. Hammamturgy, on the other hand, refers to a relationship with the atmospheric conditions that produce the transformation of the form.
Directed by Tomas Aragay (Theater director and dramaturg) and Sofia Asencio ( dancer and choreographer) has constructed a language which has found one of its key factors in the concept of movement by placing anything outside of its place, area or ‘own space’ in order to investigate how this movement modifies language with respect to both its constituent grammar as well as with respect to the reading made by an observer. This involves moving in order to reveal something.
