Two Identical Mirrored (WT)

Showing by Ixchel Mendoza Hernández

With the support of the Einstiegsförderung 2016 and Tanzfabrik Berlin Ixchel Mendoza Hernandez is presenting the first research of the project "Two Identical Mirrored". "Two Identical Mirrored" researches as a laboratory space, to play with the fine borders between perception, memory and imagination. Investigating how the audience is forced to make chains of associations and possible story configurations of a disjoint proposition, in an atemporal fictional “space”. The choreographic investigation of this piece comes as a cinematic editing process from all the elements being juxtaposed. All together it functions as a montage, working with the cinematographic and personal memory of the spectator.

Ixchel Mendoza Hernández

Ixchel Mendoza Hernández (she/her) is a Mexican freelance choreographer, performer and dancer based in Berlin. She completed her choreography and dance studies at Artez Arnheim in 2007. From 2013 till 2015 she had been engaged at the MA SoDA, HZT in Berlin. Her research is based on a phenomena she calls «Visual Ghost», an consciousness of perception that continuously transforms or evolves: Living in a world, in which the materialized and visible is intertwined with the immaterial and the invisible, «Visual Ghost» explores how the invisible and immaterial can come into presence by experiencing them. Through the means of choreography she explores an awareness or consciousness that materialises in the space, interested in how these invisible phenomena come into the "present" and through what events, social arrangements or circumstances takes place.
