HORMA + AZAEL FERRER. MAY, 30. 18.00 h.
A/V LIVE
Horma + Azael Ferrer. Presenting MATADERO, an audiovisual show that combines electronic music, live visuals, and performance. Among other narratives, the piece offers a reflection on identity and the image of the body in an era of hyperhuman posthumanism driven by artificial intelligence, its clichés, monstrosities, and glitches. With an aesthetic that borders on the industrial and the performative, MATADERO transforms the stage into a space of friction where the body tenses, multiplies, and reconfigures itself.
