The Barcelona-based choreographers and dancers, Guy Nader (Lebanon) and Maria Campos (Spain), two of the currently hottest new names in European dance, have collaborated together since 2006. They have created several works shown internationally in various festivals and venues. Guy Nader and Maria Campos have been developing their own artistic language through movement, and constantly redefine themselves while searching for new contexts and territories for dance. Their artistic work continues to pass over a wide range of progression. They have a common ground in their individual approach to dance, where both look for a high demanding physicality aiming to push the body into its limits. Seeking for strength and delicacy of their own bodies, they allow a whole spectrum of imaginary to rise, discovering and providing an endless body landscape. Together they have drawn a common interest in the partnering work where they experiment new ways of approaching the relation between two or more bodies, developing strategies and tasks in order to provide the body a distinct image and perception.
LOOP DE LOOP continues choreographers' previous choreographic principles. It travels into the curved paths of the circularity, dimensions and volumes that exist for a body in space. It searches for a continuous motion and how to alter the direction of that motion, playing with weightlessness and heaviness, body’s centrifugal force and rediscovering new directions for velocity and acceleration to happen. With its constant interest in the joy of repetition, the piece wants to draw our attention to the perception of time, memory and lived experiences, a series of infinite opportunities for time and space to be compared.
