Frágil, a performance dedicated to experimentation and dialogue between Michio‘s electronic music and Leonor Leal‘s dance. There are also two artists invited to this project; the contemporary choreographer Maura Morales and the multidisciplinary artist Ana Lessing Menjibar.

Leonor Leal‘sinterest in the use of a common language such as flamenco as well as the illusion of living together in a process of investigation results in this performance, where she tries to address at a conceptual and expressive level the fragility of the artist as a human being and in this case as a dancer.

A reflection on looking and being looked at. About the free and naked exhibition before the public of what one believes to be. About the fears that accompany us or the strength that comes with showing them, the challenges, the borders, the insecurities, the obsessions or the sensitivity closest to the skin.
