EL CINE REV[B]ELADO #7

cine revelado 7

El Cine Rev[b]elado is a live arts programme that interrelates cinema with other artistic disciplines through performative practices. The project invites audiences to approach cinematography from more experiential perspectives with the aim of expanding and shifting its boundaries, generating proposals that interrogate and transform the language of cinema language, and that rebel against the passive viewing of projected images.

Launched in February 2014 at the Museo CA2M, El Cine Rev[b]elado continues more than a decade later, pursuing a consistent line of research that explores the potential of performance as a tool for questioning the traditional logistics of cinema.

This seventh edition presents a series of reflections on image saturation in the twenty-first century. Placing the body centre stage, it offers a new interpretation of cinematographic formats and genres, with four proposals by artists who explore cinema from the perspectives of diversity and risk. We also want to support and share the new works by artists who have taken part in previous editions and re-engage now with the context and audiences of the present edition.

VERÓNICA NAVAS. DE LLUNY

VERÓNICA NAVAS. DE LLUNY

SUNDAY 1 FEBRUARY,  6.30 pm

Performance. Premiere in Madrid. 60 min.

De lluny [From Far Away] is a film to watch, touch and walk through. A live film that occupies the space and invites audiences to explore it while strolling alongside it. In this performative action, the pages of an old encyclopaedia have been cut out and re-edited as a film reel. New films that are installed in an unconventional space rather than being projected onto a screen in a dark room; that go from the bound spine on the shelves of someone’s house to the exhibition gallery, to the collective gaze. Paper films which, as photosensitive material, continue to develop due to the effect of light. Paper from which other narratives emerge.

For this edition of El Cine Rev[b]elado, we’ll see a new, site-specific version of De lluny conceived through memory and imagination. We’ll go to a place in Móstoles that has formed part of the town’s cinema imaginary. A place from where all films emerged, to present it with this one. Like an offering.

Verónica Navas. Navas is an artist, cultural researcher and performer. Her interests revolve around image, matter and time. She pursues her practice from an interdisciplinary perspective and regardless of the format of expression. Since 2015 she has created, directed and written for the performing arts, releasing two of her own works—Hasta Agotar Existencias (Ensayando para que la muerte de mi madre no me pille desprevenida) and La Ciudad, the latter premiered in Madrid at the Museo CA2M within the framework of El Cine Rev[b]elado in 2022—and another eight works in collaboration with other artists. She has a degree in Audiovisual Communication (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) and a master’s degree in Film and TV Screenwriting (ALMA, Universidad Carlos III Madrid), and she is a Drama graduate of the Institut del Teatre.

NÚRIA GUIU: P.O.V. (working progress)

POV

SUNDAY 8 FEBRUARY, 6.30 pm

Performative lecture. Premiere in Madrid. 52 min.

Whatever you choose to do, you're the protagonist. This is one of the premises of P.O.V. (or “point of view”), a recurring meme that has accustomed us to performing different perspectives, putting ourselves in someone else’s shoes. Using a visual archive that explores hysteria (historically attributed to women), mythology and pop culture references, the proposal is presented as a space for experimentation where positions, images and words clash, are tensed and overflow. The piece examines the mechanisms through which bodies are classified and performed: how a gesture becomes an image, how an image is transformed into a caption, how a caption crystallises an identity. In this process, visibility is not neutral but constructs stories, hierarchies and forms of perception that condition the way in which we look at each other and how we ourselves are looked at.

For the soundtrack of this piece, Núria has collaborated with the music producer Uge Pañeda, aka OKKRE.

Núria Guiu Sagarra is a dancer and choreographer based in Barcelona. Her artistic practice explores the relationship between bodies, images and power dynamics from a personal, sociocultural and speculative perspective. Her works investigate the complexities of contemporary culture through an anthropological lens, especially those related to digital environments, memory and emotions. Her creations extend to movement, writing and teaching practices derived from these, and include titles such as as Medium (2022), Cyberexorcisme (2022), Spiritual Boyfriends (2020), Supermedium (2024) and Likes (2018). In 2025 she participated in the Europalia programme with The Sleep of Reason inspired by Goya’s Disparates and Caprichos.

MARÍA JURADO. SPOOKY

Spooky

SUNDAY 15 FEBRUARY, 6.30 pm

Escénicas. 50 min.

Spooky is a fight against the individual and a performance in which two women design a stage set inspired by the codes of suspense cinema and trash cinema. DIY media and aesthetics intervene directly in the space, creating a fragmented narrative that generates a sense of uncertainty, engaging with the audience and highlighting rifts between reality and fiction. The stage represents a metaphor for the brain, which receives information, patterns and projections that our beliefs about the individual construct around us, a seemingly impenetrable but speedily tortuous bell jar. The project seeks to investigate and delve deeper through creation, action and continuous thought, which means that no two performances are the same.

María Jurado is an artist, choreographer, performer and researcher based in Barcelona. She navigates the boundaries between conceptual dance and performance. She studied at the Institut del Teatre. In 2022 she premiered her work Black Sun at the Festival Grec in Barcelona. She participated in the creation process of the piece Mágica y elástica by Cuqui Jerez and as a performer in the piece Japan by Mabel Olea, for whom she was the outside eye for Olea’s latest solo, Cut One’s Teeth. In 2023 she premiered her piece Dancing with my Abjection. Spooky was born as a residency project at El Graner thanks to collaboration with the artist Macarena Bielski López and, later on, the combined strength of a multidisciplinary team. The piece formed part of the Support for Creation Systems: Artist Residencies of Réplika Teatro in Madrid.

Macarena Bielski is a dancer, performer, musician and creator born in Madrid. In July 2022 she graduated with a BA in Dance from p.a.r.t.s, the school founded by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker in Brussels (Belgium). There she developed and researched not only the relationship between dance and performance, but also music production, video, the use of text and the manipulation of technologies on stage. She has worked on different projects since completing her studies. She is an artist-in-residence at Réplika Teatro, where she developed the project Cuando ya no esté and MORFIA, jointly created with Manuel Pita-Romero and presented at the IN-SONORA Festival.

MACARENA RECUERDA SHEPHERD. IF IT WERE A MOVIE

Si fuera una pelicula

SUNDAY 22 FEBRUARY, 6.30 pm

Performing arts. 60 min.

If It Were a Movie is a piece that explores the possibilities of sound in cinema to rethink the theatre scene. A sound that dramatises, fictionalises or re-signifies the images it touches, producing strangeness and humour or becoming a metaphor for travelling from the plausible to the unreal. This overlaying of narrative elements—sound linked to cinema and the stage—reveals the potential of both. Sound as a generator of unlimited possibilities and the stage with its infinite code of representation. If It Were a Movie never becomes a movie because it lacks image: the image projected onto the fourth wall of our imagination. Meanwhile, we watch a concert of objects officiated by Macarena Recuerda and her collaborator George Marinov, which unfolds like a sound collage crafted out of cuttings from our collective memory.

Macarena Recuerda is a performer, theatre director and researcher with Sevillian roots and now based in the north of Spain. She is trained in the performing arts, drama and dance. Although she has a degree from the Institut del Teatre, she is primarily interested in participatory projects that aim to create new forms of encounter through art. Since 2012 her research has centred on the role of the spectator. She invents new spaces to play, create and think in company. Her research is divided between two lines of work: language on stage; and participatory and pedagogical spaces. She has directed and performed the pieces The Watching Machine, Cosa. Intervenir un cuerpo and ¡Ay! ¡Ya!, and she has created different projects in collaboration with the artists Sofía Asencio, Idurre Azkue, David Franch, Txalo Toloza and Vicente Arlandis. In 2022 she took part in El Cine Rev[b]elado with That’s the Story of My Life.

George Marinov is a theatre director, lighting designer, sound recordist and performer. He has a degree in Theatre Direction and Performance of Text-Based Theatre from the Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático (RESAD) in Madrid. He also took the Tecnica della Rappresentazione course at Scula Cónia (Cesena Italy), directed by Claudia Castellucci. His theatrical pieces include: HÄXAN (2025), premiered at the Madrid Autumn Festival; Ejercicios militares para confundir éxtasis con agonía (2023); Il senso della Carne (2020) as artist-in-residence (Catalysi) for the company Societas Raffaello Sanzio (Italy); and Nidos de Hormigón (2019). Since 2023 he has been collaborating with Macarena Recuerda on different productions.
