Premiere in Cervantes Institute of Casablanca in May 2012.
Thirst erodes, a piece in three acts, is a physical and poetic reflection based on the classical mythology of Kore (former name of Persephone as a girl, before being abducted by Hades, and Hermes Psychopompos (who takes the souls to the underworld). Persephone plays also a role in the myth of the condemnation of Eros’ and Psyche’s souls to exile. The choreographic concept stems from an intuition: when a body dances all other bodies (from past, present and future) dance with it. All the anatomies keep a memory of the rest of the anatomies; the body contains within itself the physical language of Time.
La Phármaco Dance Company was founded in 2009 by Luz Arcas and Abraham Gragera with a shared belief that dance cannot be limited with genres or styles; the aim of dance is to bring out to the light what lies in darkness. La Pharmaco is often inspired in its works by the classics of world literature, using it to reflect the modern times, defending dance as a social, human mechanism. Form and dynamics are always unexpected, rising from deep inside they convert into expression of soul. Dance reflects all history. It reminds us that the world is not complete, it is still in creation. The works of La Pharmaco have received many awards and gained wide recognition in Spain.
