About the show

Written Portraits is a participative performance based on improvisation where, as painters do, I portray a person improvising a poem with my typewriter and the person gets the poem in paper as a present.

Participated in more than 30 festivals, performed more than 300 times, portrayed around 3000 persons in 6 years, worked together with 70 artists of diverse disciplines and included in the so called “the bible of performance” Emergency Index. WHAT A TRIP!!!

About

It includes a twenty pages prologue in English and Spanish telling the story of the idea and its evolution.

Details make it big.

Why?

Writing as an act. The writer beyond his desk. Telling stories than the skin tells. Live. In the moment. Creating with no premeditation. A mirroring game. In the moment. For the moment. That remains as part of our experience. That stays in a paper.

The swing behind

This performance is based on improvisational poems live written and often invites artists of diverse disciplines. Live music, live painting and improvisational contemporary dance; disciplines which not only drive the moment and the words into an experience of trance and human interconnection but also tend to portray the person in its own language.
