After IMAGO-GO (on the figure of the majorette) and GUÉRILLÈRES (on guerrilla warriors), ROLL is the third installment to focus on women's communities. Not so much through the consensual roller dance as through the prism of roller derby, a post-contact sport and current hotbed of political struggle. From sporting confrontation to choreographic emulation, this piece attempts to take these spangled warriors elsewhere, applying the tools of contemporary dance to the roller derby lexicon and summoning various hypnotic dances that rollerblades will enable us to prolong and accentuate, right up to the experience of altered states.
A latecomer to dance after studying psychology in her native Madrid, Marta Izquierdo Muñoz was an avid dancer (ballet, jazz, contemporary, flamenco, clubbing) before embarking on her first personal projects in 2007 and setting up her own company [lodudo] producción.
Her work focuses mainly on female figures torn between the margins and mass culture. Indeed, she is interested in representations of women in popular culture, and more specifically in the contrast between the ideal, smooth and formatted model proposed by American productions and the recycling of this image on a local and individual scale. Thus decontextualized, deterritorialized, these emanations of American myth reveal flaws, singularities, the sensitive: the human.
Marta Izquierdo Muñoz has also often focused on ambiguous female characters, torn between the need to conform to certain social norms and artistic practices that de facto place them on the margins.
