JUAN DOMÍNGUEZ

With a career of over 20 years in which he has questioned the parameters of performing creation, the Madrid-born creator Juan Domínguez presents a piece with which the text prevails as a form of the body.

Juan Dominguez is a conceptual clown, magical cowboy, model-poet, untied narrator and curator of pleasure. As a maker and organizer within the fields of choreography and performing arts his work explores the relationship between different codes and advocates the complete dissolution between fiction and reality, using the former to produce the latter and vice versa. He is currently working on the construction of contexts that generate stronger and lasting relationships through continuity. He is also working on the idea of co-authorship between all the agents involved in a live aesthetic experience. In the last 15 years he has curated different festivals and programs. He was artistic director of the Festival In-Presentable/La Casa Encendida (2003-12), co-designer of Living Room Festival (2010-13), co-curator of Picnic Sessions at C2M-Madrid (2013-15), co-designer Festival Avant-Garten at Interntional Sommer Festival Kampnagel-Hamburg (2017) amongst others.
