Dancer and choreographer Magalí Camps, in close collaboration with artists Þórunn Guðmundsdóttir
and Léana Licius, begins the choreographic project FIASCO.
Stemming from the literary work “Time is a Mother” by Ocean Vuong, the project is rooted in the notions of childhood, fiction, and semantics, reflecting how the body can become the source and protagonist of a story.

Through modes of collecting and generation of scenes, Magalí Camps begins a new research,
continuing her previous work “Double You Single View” on language and the joy of dance and
companionship. How to hold onto a narrative, a depicted story through dance? How can the
formality of literature be brought into choreographic staging? The residency is intended to retrace
Camps’ work by deliberately assembling and piling what is of it.
