MAÑA is a performance-installation that revolves around ingenuity, that timeless, universal and transversal attribute, seen through artistic and artisanal lenses. There for all to see is the construction of a giant arch made of very heavy boxes, a construction based on the premises of economy of effort and movement. The choreography of this everyday element of the scenography is the performance itself, in which craftsmanship is the indelible protagonist: a craftsmanship that contrasts the use of tools and resources, so as not to limit my effectiveness as a craftsman, negotiating between ingenuity and intuition.
