Olga Mesa has built this solo on the basis of an intimate, private listening, abandoning her body to a practice of impulses and desires. An invented tango-poem, rooted in the memory of her grandfather Antón the Argentinean, extendable to a collective memory of fragmented stories. Perhaps it is A ciegas (Blind) because her gaze wants to return to her body through an intuitive, (non)visible practice engaged with the performance space. She continues to search, somewhat obsessively, for transitional, suspended, abandoned passages in which to situate the body as an uncertain interval of the possible. The new presence she offers us is indirect and autonomous in relation to the spectator's gaze, creating an emergent system of secret codes through the sound and visual spaces of the piece.
In Olga Mesa's 'blind dance', imaginary touch is the only sense through which a direct link between artist and audience is possible.
