Pedro Flores Maldonado: 2012

Corpus from Pedro Flores Maldonado on Vimeo.

Synopsis

Corpus is a bodily essay in a video format that explores spaces, materials, body and place using the French, contemporary philosopher Jean Luc Nancy's masterpiece "58 indices on the body" as a trigger. It is a reflection about spatial memories, a physical, sweaty meeting between a dancer and a room, between movement and text, between wood, metal, stone and skin. Corpus is a dance video artwork who wants to create physical reactions in the viewer and simultaneously make critical issues. In what way is the female body represented in the dance world today? In what way does it affect the viewer to only see the back of a body, a naked body? If I say "my body", does in relate to ownership? Is it me who owns my body or does my body owns me? How does my naked body relate and react into silence and coldness?

El próximo 21 y 22 de Junio, estaré realizando el casting para seleccionar el elenco del largometraje “Alcatraces”; proyecto a realizarse en Colima, durante el año 2013. La historia se desarrolla en un pueblo del municipio de Comala, teniendo como protagonistas dos familias:

FAMILIA 1: Familia campesina, formada únicamente de mujeres. El padre murió años atrás; por lo que la madre (Agustina) y su suegra (Santa) tomaron las riendas de la casa. Las niñas de la casa (Ollin y Lupe), estudian y ayudan en lo que pueden con la actividad que mantiene a la familia: el cultivo de alcatraces.

Descripción de personajes.

Ollin: Chica de 16 años, de razgos indigenas. Delgada, de complexión y movimiento infantil.

Lupe: Chica de 17 años, razgos indígenas. Lindo cuerpo, sonriente, muy simpatica.

Agustina: Mujer de 38 años aproximadamente, indigena. Es una mujer de carácter seco, cariñosa con sus hijas, pero dura en sus movimientos y en sus relaciones con los demás. Trabaja para mantener a su familia. Habla náhuatl mezclado con español.

Santa: Anciana indígena. Muy delgada y erguida. Es una mujer espiritual, ceremoniosa, profunda. Piensa, siente y presiente mucho, antes de actuar. Habla únicamente náhuatl.

FAMILIA 2: Familia poseedora de varios viveros. Es una de las familias más acomodadas del pueblo, está integrada por los padres (Amparo y Jesús) y los hijos (Lucrecia y Efrén). Escepto Lucrecia, el resto son personas machistas y conservadoras en muchos aspectos.

Descripción de personajes.

Efrén: Muchacho de 18 años aproximadamente. Corpulento, atrativo. Es un muchacho engreído, fiestero.

Lucrecia: Chica de 20 años, corpulenta, seria, pausada, liugeramente agresiva en apariencia. Tiene una energia oscura. Es muy trabajadora y hasta cierto punto ruda.

Amparo: Mujer de 45 años aprox. Ama de casa, conservadora en pensamiento. Manipuladora sin aceptar responsabilidades ni poder.

Jesús: Dueño varios viveros. Hombre conservador de pocas palabras. Esposo de Amparo. Se mantiene muy ausente de su casa, pero él creé que tiene la ultima palabra.
