Public sharing from the workshop led by the artist Seba Calfuqueo, who seeks to bring a contemporary reflection on the relationship between humans and what we understand as nature, developing a breaking point in which we can understand that these two concepts can coexist.

“LiminaL” de Max Provenzano
Between a closed exit and a glass door comes a suspended territory - an indeterminate state. Based on the idea that what is outside is also inside, we are currently living in convulsive times, from the global to the personal - especially in my case. This performance by Max Provenzano is, therefore, a proposition about placing the body in that interval, that limit, and showing through an image the permanence of a border and the visibility of that discomfort. The glass allows you to see without crossing; the closed exit prevents you from returning - entry and enclosure at the same time. This action manifests itself as an exercise in presence - a silent resistance that welcomes indeterminacy - the result of the workshop “Situar el Cuerpo”, led by the artist Seba Calfuqueo.

This performance by Eduardo Ibraim, directed by Seba Calfuqueo and presented at the BoCA Bienal as a creation resulting from the “Situar el Cuerpo” workshop, inaugurates an “alertartistic” moment at each meeting, where the body, objects, sound and orality - cross fractures. The work reflects wars that repeat themselves, borders that tighten, and echoes of climate change that are increasingly urgent. The performance space, as a site of fruition, becomes a pulsating territory of displacement and resistance in the midst of instability.
