Cèl·lula n.4

Supermedium

Cèl·lula emerges as an embryonic project for the production, creation and transmission of dance within the structure of the Mercat de les Flors.

It aims to make possible the creation of medium and large-format works by choreographers who are at the point of maturity and interest in deploying their talent and aesthetic universe in this stage format. Cèl·lula is a program of the Mercat de les Flors to support the creation of large format, the transmission and circulation of knowledge within the professional community.

One of the objectives of this project is to give more support and accompaniment to the artists of the territory, to increase the resources available and to improve the working conditions.

The project developed by Mercat de les Flors between 2018 and 2023 has put the artist at the heart of the Mercat de les Flors project, a position necessary to improve the quality of the creations.

The Cèl·lula project developed in recent seasons has been able to generate large stage formats and give growth opportunities to local talent.

So far, 11 laboratories and three Cèl·lula productions have been held, with Albert Quesada, with Pere Faura / La Diürna and with Guy Nader and Maria Campos. This year we have proposed to Núria Guiu a creation within the framework of Cèl·lula.

Cèl·lula is a flexible structure for the creation, transmission, continuous training and development of dance, it invites and welcomes choreographers, dancers, creators and artists who work around dance, choreography, the body and movement.

Cèl·lula n.4 Supermedium

Núria Guiu’s new work, accompanied in the creation by Norwegian choreographer Ingri Fiksdal, is called Supermedium and is part of the Cèl·lula 4 project, produced

by Mercat de les Flors. The piece is a large-format version inspired by Medium, a solo that the two choreographers created in 2022.

In the history of dance up to the present day, there are different approaches to the embodiment of the virtual or invisible. Witches or mediums have always been women associated with the fringes of society and superpowers.

In Supermedium, nine dancers become mediums who channel movement

through time and space, and such be vessels that connect past, future and present times. Through attempts of invocation, possession and finally exorcism of various movement archives, the performance grows into a speculative fiction that examines what kinds of bodily knowledges and histories we are in possession of as well as which bodies are possessed.

CHOREOGRAPHY

In Supermedium nine female dancers will be channelling movement from their own bodily archives. Each dancer will transcend, mutate and reveal different traces of phantom movements. Movements that have been traveling through different bodies, through generations; maybe from a teacher to a student, from a mother to a daughter, from a video tutorial on the Internet to a viewer. Their bodies become possessed by movements that belong to different times and places. The movements can perhaps be recognized or named by the viewer in a subtle way while they fade, mutate, disappear or transform. Bodies possessed by many bodies. Bodies possessed by history.

Bodies possessed by music. Bodies that transit both cultural, personal and virtual history archives during the time and space of the performance.

CONCEPT

Supermedium looks at how the body is haunted by ghosts of the past, present and future. Here, the ghost is understood both as a metaphor for how different movement-histories and physical memes are manifested in the body, but also concretely through dances that seek to channel actual ghosts or spirits. In Western Modernity, the conception of humanity has been based on a distinction between Man and nature, but also on a disenchantment of the world where ghosts and spirits no longer had a place. In recent years, the posthumanist turn has tried to reinclude other-than-humans and re-entangle Man as someone who is always already in relation. However, this entanglement tends to favour the natural world, where beings such as bacteria and fungus act upon humans and humans on them. There is more reluctancy however, to also consider the supernatural and what lies beyond the material and visible as morethan-human agents.

Supermedium aims to negotiate the universes of the visible and the invisible, of materiality and volatility, spirit and flesh in order to question this threefold of the body as both natural, cultural, as well as channel for the supernatural.

BODY - IMAGE - MEDIUM In ancient times, in funeral cults, the body served as a vessel between life and death.

A living person offered his body to a dead person as a medium so that the dead could manifest and express themself.

There are rites all over the world in which the body becomes the instrument for communication between the dead and the world of the living, of the invisible and the visible, of spirits and matter. In these rituals, the body is possessed, and the spirit is often manifested through a voice, music, movement, or dance. In daily life, ideological currents, politics, as well as culture, are sometimes part of this spectrum that possesses us, and which we embody even though it is not visible at first sight.

In dance history as well as today, there are many different approaches to the incarnation of the virtual or invisible. In the West, classical dance has been a benchmark in terms of the representation of women as spirit. The second act of the ballet (also called the white act) is usually staged with dancers covered in white tulle. In this act the dancers move in an agile and light way to represent the souls and spirits of different characters (Giselle, Sylphide and Swan Lake to name a few). In modern American dance, Loie Fuller became famous for her Serpentine dance. The staging consisted of a costume made from a wide and light fabric that covered her from head to toe. Through elongating her arms with sticks, Fuller could manipulate the costume and create large volumes, figures and spooky shapes under which her body disappeared. The intention

of Fuller’s dance was not to focus on the body, but on its disappearance while creating an ecstatic or hypnotic experience that also integrated sound and light. Both Mary Wigman and Marta Graham, great references in modern dance, created imaginaries in which the body disappeared or was transformed by the costumes (for instance Lamentation

by Graham and Totentanz by Wigman).

Graham was closely influences by her teachers Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, who had travelled in the East (especially in India) and who appropriated an Orientalist aesthetic (which later was much criticized). Still, their dances became influential in the West as they promoted a new conception of the body as a form of spiritual expression.

Today, images of bodies and movement, more than ever due to the expansion of the Internet, have a great power over our imagination. Digital culture has produced an overabundance of visual content. This content, volatile as a spirit, travels at high speed through the internet reaching all over the world. The Internet, however, far from being an invisible cloud, is materialized in devices, screens, cables that cross oceans, garbage that accumulates in countries that the West exploits and enslaves under a capitalist economy. All content on the Internet is seemingly a kind of phantasmagoria, colonizing our imaginaries, flesh, thought, and the natural environment.

REVIEWS OF THE SHOW Carmen del Val, El País, Babelia. 26/01/2024

“In this large-scale production, gesture, music, scenery and costumes form a whole that hypnotises the spectator from the very first moment. [...] Brilliant moments abound throughout the show.”

Andreu Gomila, Temps de les Arts.

24/01/2024

“On stage, nine dancers, including the choreographer, offer a show of strength, plasticity and energy in what is by far one of the best performances of the season. [...] In Barcelona, a proposal like Guiu’s can aspire to this, to do four to eight performances in the large hall of the Mercat.

It could go even farther and be performed in the Fabià Puigserver hall of the Lliure (more than 700 seats) or the Sala Gran of the TNC (more than 800). Or even at the Teatre Grec (more than 2,000 seats).”

Oriol Puig Taulé, Núvol.

31/01/2024

“Size sometimes does matter. And big can work too. (...)

Supermedium works because we all dance and move, and very often our movements have origins that even we are unaware of.”

Omar Khan, SusyQ. 24/01/2024

“One of Supermedium’s greatest merits lies in the game it plays with the observer’s perception. The same scene, which looks like a place under construction, acquires another meaning, even another dimension, after having become acquainted with the discourse.”

Ingri Fiksdal is a choreographer based in Oslo, Norway. She holds a PhD in artistic research from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts titled Affective Choreographies (2019). Ingri’s work on affect has in recent years taken her into discourses on perspective and privilege. She is currently working on a number of projects that research the posthuman and with this hegemonies of knowledge and power. Here, choreography is understood as a format of speculative fiction that can propose complex and manyfold understandings of body, gender, species, ethnicity, knowledge and history. Ingri is concerned with how practice and theory are entangled in her work in a way where neither is perceived as anterior to the other.

Since 2020, Ingri has been an Affiliated Artistic Researcher with CoFUTURES at the University of Oslo (www.cofutures.org). The CoFUTURES group led by Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay researches global futurisms from non-anglophone traditions. Ingri’s work has in recent years been performed at Obscene Festival in Seoul, Homo Novus in Riga, Kunstenfestival in Brussels, Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Santarcangelo festival, Beijing Contemporary Dance Festival, Sommerszene in Salzburg, Reykjavík Art Museum, brut-Wien, Teatro di Roma, Harbourfront Centre Toronto, Contemporary Art Center Cincinnati, BUDA Kortrijk, Tanzhaus NRW in Dusseldorf and Steirischer Herbst Festival in Graz, alongside extensive touring in Norway.

During the performance traces of dances, choreographies, choreographers, dancers, steps, styles, techniques and movement practices are invoked as part of the performer’s affective-body archive. By archive we mean all the movements and dances that are part of our body-memory. These archives can come from very diverse times and places and we might have integrated them through personal relationships, through history and culture or through the visual/virtual world.

Archives are sometimes faithful to their source, sometimes in the form of absence, sometimes they appear erased by time, by memory and by one’s own desire to be transformed, hybridized or fictionalized, as it happens in dreams. Sometimes the archives take life beyond our bodies to dance through sound, light, scenography and costumes. During the performance we invoke, channel and exorcize the following archives: *in order of appearance in the piece.
