Cuadrado Negro
Sobre Fondo Negro
Framed within an essentially physical dramaturgy, Cuadrado Negro Sobre Fondo Negro stages the problems of a couple in an indefinite time and space, where the use of paper tape that limits the perimeter, sets the conflict in a house, a bed, a stage, or the very interior of a suprematist painting.
“When the world becomes unattainably vast, we can only invent our own, tailor-making one for ourselves”
“. .the work of Rodrigo Pardo, (Cuadrado Negro Sobre Fondo Negro), full, solid and beautiful in resolutions and intentions, revealed his talent to transform what occurs in the setting into a different universe from real life”.
“(....)Rodrigo Pardo uses different procedures from contemporary dance as well as drama-dance, without resorting to a particular language. He develops a very personal style in order to create the restlessness and loneliness of this clearly in-crisis couple.
Beyond the movement, and the spatial configuration, in the piece Cuadrado Negro Sobre Fondo Negro, Pardo plays with texts projected on the wall, low lights, and contrasting costume to complete an extremely expressive show. The dancer uses his voice and knowledge of tango to give the performance a very “porteño” style, that matches perfectly well with a dance of impressive physical strength.
