[lodudo] producción - Marta Izquierdo Muñoz

Marta Izquierdo continues her choreographic exploration of female communities and their practices. ROLL is inspired by the 1975 film Rollerball, about the extreme contact sport, roller derby, which has undergone a revival since 2000 and is played mainly by women. Thus, with imagery inspired by horror and punk cinema, this piece incorporates new feminist and LGBTQI+ currents. An intense piece with socio-political overtones.

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.”
