[lodudo] producción - Marta Izquierdo Muñoz

Choreographic creation on four-wheeled roller skates that Marta Izquierdo has conceived for the public space. At the same time, the piece is a tribute to Eric Martin, a prominent contemporary dancer and former figure skater. Drawing on their common experiences growing up, Izquierdo and Martin revisit their youth with injections of their shared sense of humour and love of popular culture.

Marta Izquierdo’s artistic language is nourished bythe counterculture born of the post-Franco movida madrileña movement in Madrid and experienced in the working-class gypsy neighbourhood of Carabanchel, as well as the discovery of the Japanese Butoh dance. She founded her own company in 2007 in France after performing in prestigious productions. Her work mainly focuses on female figures torn between marginality and mass culture, with the blending of registers at the heart of all her creations. The prestigious French dance critic, Rossita Boisseau, said of her: “Marta Izquierdo Muñoz is a true comic who could drag us into a tragedy. Except that she has decided she is going to come out on top.”
