Phantom
Phantom, the latest production by Darío Bardam, focuses on the relationship between the figure of the ghost and the politics of disidentification, following the lines of research developed in his previous projects, which examine the catalysts of a dance that exceeds the body that performs it (rhythm, repetition, feedback, archive, gaze, voice, among others).
In Phantom, different beats and melodies are explored through DJ sets, together with the superimposition of shadows and lights as a theatrical device; constructing a ghostly body that fades away to make space for everything to dance.
At the core of the project, the pleasure of dancing plays a fundamental role.
