An exploration of the intangible nature of time through memory.

In this proposal, the dancers' bodies face the confusion of embodying what has no body. From this paradox, an emotional journey is proposed, an open window to a sensitive universe full of absences and images that have no beginning or end. The piece has received numerous awards.

COMPANY RECUERDO NÚMERO 7
Parallel to their activity as performers, Javier Ara Sauco and Enrique López Flores begin in 2021 their stage as creators under the name of Recuerdo número 7. They present proposals of different formats, from performance, installation, transdisciplinary artistic projects to pedagogical activities. Their choreographic work is characterized by the use of the dancers' personalities and a delicate and sensitive work with the body.

In addition to their own productions, they also carry out creation laboratories in different companies such as LAB180 in Madrid and are invited to give workshops at the Biennale Danza College in Venice. In 2024 they were selected as choreographers to participate in the Biennale Danza College meeting under the direction of Wayne McGregor, where they shared three months of creation process with 16 young dancers from around the world and showed the result in the 18th edition of the prestigious dance festival in Venice.
