Imbermoves
"There are people who cross paths with you and seem to walk three feet off the ground. You'd think they were floating, engrossed in something the rest of us don't even see."
"...a striking alliance between city and movement, and reveals a gaze, that of its creator, in which several passions and an insatiable curiosity converge."
"Space becomes the song of Ulysses' sirens: enchanting and fascinating, but without leaving behind its wildest side, unpredictable and, therefore, dangerous."
"...He manages in just a few minutes to change the energy and even the air he moves with his jumps seems to dance with him."
"...then one can really speak of an alliance between landscape and body, then nature returns to its place, to the body."
"From this empathy with the micro-worlds he has made dramaturgy as a choreographer. His works, different from one another, have the same root: they come from an imaginary of his own arising from this capacity of observation."
"It is not the fact of jumping itself that attracts me, but floating. A body from which you don't know where it comes from and where it's going."
"A process at once methodical and spontaneous, improvisational and meticulous."
"A leisurely stroll or hike is transformed, in the time of a blink of an eye, into a new artistic production."
Imbermoves travels, captures ephemeral places through self-portraits in multiple scenarios. It is a dialogue between the changing space and the body in movement.
It is a “living” project that portrays urban architectures and natural treasures that go unnoticed around the five continents.
Through tours with their choreographic productions, different countries take center stage: Spain, Italy, Senegal, Equatorial Guinea, France, Philippines, Vietnam, China, Malaysia, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, United States, and many others.
Spaces conquered by the movement
Imbermoves reflects a self-portrait work of Elías Aguirre through photography and video-dance, in different scenarios found and captured in an ephemeral way.
It is a project that travels, that seeks and portrays urban architectures, natural treasures, spaces that go unnoticed and that invite the body to maintain a symbiotic relationship.
The dialogue between the changing space and the body in movement represents the struggle to conquer places on which, by intervening, they acquire new meanings, even if it involves an implicit risk.
Imber Movements
Spatial movement and movement as dance merge in the word “imber”.
This term comes from the Nordic countries and there is evidence of it in a region near Murcia called “Los Imbernones” by the Vikings.
“Imber” comes from “Ingver” which means son of the god “Ing”, the Scandinavian god of nature and fertility. Thus, the term “Imber” reflects the strength and conquering spirit of the Vikings.
