What does it mean to be human when the human spills beyond itself?
This overflow does not point to a dystopian future, but to the very condition of our present. Bodies crossed by memories that erupt, by languages that exceed them, by technologies that predict them even before they act.
In OTRA COSA QUE NO ES UNA CONFERENCIA, the format unravels and becomes an untamed space where words dissolve into gesture and consensus fades into its own shadow. In this territory of transit and tremor, meaning happens between bodies, in the collision, the escape, the incompleteness.
The human is not a substance but a relation: a practice of resistance that burns at the edges of what can be said
BACKGROUND
Manuel Rodríguez, dancer, choreographer, and visual artist, graduated from the Master’s programme New Performative Practices at the University of the Arts Stockholm. His practice questions the contemporary conditions under which the body appears, treating it as a space of friction where perception, matter, and relation intersect. His works erode the structures of language and the devices that organize the visible, opening areas of indeterminacy from which to imagine other forms of presence.
