In_CORPUS is a performative intervention conceived by Agnès López-Río specifically for Carlos Aires’s installation Bailad, bailad, malditos, in Nave 0 at Matadero Madrid. Through dance, the piece establishes a dialogue with the exhibition’s visual and sonic universe, as well as with Sydney Pollack’s They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (1969)—a shared cinematic reference from which both Carlos Aires and Agnès López-Río explore the relationships between the body, the image, and spectacle.
Performed by Agnès López-Río and Isaac Montllor, the action unfolds among the props of the installation, where movement, repetition, and breath build a physical experience moving between the energy of dance and the sheer effort that sustains it. The piece invites reflection on what we put on display and what remains out of sight: exhaustion, vulnerability, and the limits of the body.
Agnès López-Río is a dramaturg specializing in dance, as well as a creator and researcher. Holding a PhD in Arts, Humanities, and Education, she has been a member of Spain’s National Dance Company (Compañía Nacional de Danza) and has developed an extensive career in stage creation and dramaturgy. She currently teaches at the María de Ávila Superior Conservatory of Dance.
Isaac Montllor is a dancer and performing artist with a career spanning more than two decades linked to the National Dance Company (Compañía Nacional de Danza). He has worked with choreographers such as Nacho Duato, Jiří Kylián, Mats Ek, and William Forsythe, combining his artistic practice with dance teaching and outreach.
