DATA
The 'Data' project is a creation choreographed and performed by Manuel Roque.
Set to Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, the piece is of great physical and poetic intensity, showcasing a dance that is both sensitive and virtuosic.
This solo explores the multiple potentials of human identity, focusing on the mutation of matter and the grey, protean areas of human nature.
"Manuel Roque does more than dance for us; he dances us, dances our inability to dance, gives dance back to us, generously illuminating with data that precise point where the body becomes spirit and finds its unity, enlightened."
