Concept, Direction & Choreography: Vivi Medina

“This piece is a prayer—for others, for ourselves—so that we may understand death and the life that exists beyond it.”

Created in 2014 as part of the Artistic Residencies Programme for Creators from Ibero-America and Haiti in Mexico, this work was supported by the National Fund for Culture and the Arts (FONCA), the San Luis Potosí Centenario Arts Centre, the Cultural Centre of Spain in Mexico (CCEMEX), and Mexico’s National Council for Culture and the Arts (CONACULTA).

Developed over a three-month creative laboratory, the project brought together a selected Mexican actor-dancer to explore and shape the piece.

This creation serves as a reflection on death—in all its dimensions, intensities, and possibilities. It considers the ways in which we can embrace not only physical death but also the death of processes, transformations, and the natural rhythms of life. That ever-present cycle—birth, life, death—resonates like a clock counting down in our hearts.

The work premiered in Mexico in September 2014, with performances in San Luis Potosí at the Arts Centre and the Raúl Gamboa Cultural Diffusion Centre of the Instituto Potosino de Bellas Artes (IPBA). It was also presented in Mexico City at Cenidi Danza and CCEMEX.
