ALQUIMIA ESCÉNICA
Alquimia Escénica is a Dance and Physical Theatre company directed by Omar Carrum and Angélica Acuña.
Formed through the integration and collaboration of artists with diverse backgrounds, ages, experiences, and performance disciplines, the company develops its artistic work through the core areas of research, creation, circulation, management, promotion, and pedagogy in the performing arts.
Like the ancient alchemists who sought to discover the fundamental elements of the universe, the transmutation of metals, and the elixir of life, the members of Alquimia Escénica seek to transform their personal histories, questions, and life processes into stage works, taking the psycho-physical body as their principal axis of study.
“We consider the creator and the performer as a researcher who seeks the transmutation of ideas for the creation of artistic works and processes; and the audience as a witness who ultimately completes the work through their interpretation, based on their own experience.”
The general objective of Alquimia Escénica is to generate “the third entity” as the result of the process that occurs when two or more people collaborate and, through dialogue, questioning, and research, their ideas become intertwined and amplified, fundamentally enriching the creative process and giving rise to new possibilities that would not have existed without that encounter.
Its specific objectives are: to collaborate with artists from Mexico and other countries in order to share ideas, culture, and personal experiences through short-, medium-, and long-term research and creation residencies; through its social, educational, and artistic axis, to generate the greatest possible social impact by involving students, artists, and workers from different sectors of the city; to create new connections between the Performing Arts and other areas of human endeavor such as gastronomy, architecture, science, and philosophy; and to ensure that all those involved experience the creation and construction of the stage event simultaneously as a sociological experience of community, in which each individual shares their ideas based on their culture, education, and personal worldview.
