This peace develops from immersion, i.e. from the creation of an underwater space of physical and mental suspension. The performer aims at immortalizing the body through holding his breath and by immersing in the water, reaching a slight feeling of uneasiness thanks to the lack of oxygen and the water pressure. A P N E A wants us to confront one of the things we always take for granted, i.e. the presence of air among us.
Rodrigo Sobarzo de Larraechea is a resident artist at Jan van Eyck Academie at Maastricht, a multidisciplinary institute for visual arts and design. Many of his works have been jointly produced by Het Veem Theater Amsterdam and Workspacebrussels in Belgium, Dance4 in Nottingham, and Hauptstadtkulturfonds in Berlin, and have been performed all around Europe.
