“Okkre’s live performances are also powerful experiences - she certainly took over the Hangar of the Engineering Institute in this year’s LEV Festival with her gargantuan and majestic heavy rhythmics that border on the edge between industrial and techno".

"Okkre’s performance was one of the high points at La Nave venue as she managed to use the large capacity of the space and overwhelmed it with her epic and majestic soundscapes somewhere between dreamy multi-layered drones and sharp yet free-roaming industrial beats. It retains the same cinematic quality that early Lcc music was full of. It was a flashy burst of sound, grand and elegant at the same time. And this was one of her first performances".

_Noisea

_{Live Show}

A work inspired by the therapeutic effect that noise frequencies generated by urban beaches have on the inhabitants of those cities. A piece articulated through field recordings and multiple layers of noise and sound modulations, that will immerse the public in those seas and the stress that surrounds them.

I've been always strongly marked by the search and creation of sound experiences that appeal to our emotional memory, that play with it or confuse it, to bring us closer to our own idiosyncrasies. So my intention with "Noisea" is invite the audience to enjoy a session of “deep listening”, in an exercise of austerity that confronts the excessive visual information to which we are exposed to on a daily basis. "Black out" is the perfect condition for the piece. But, we could also design other lighting options adapted to the space.

_Swan

_{Contemporary Ballet}

“Repeat, die and repeat. Classical dance excites and sublimates through exhaustion”. They could be the words of Marion Barbeau, prima ballerina at the Paris Opera. She will be, in some way, present in SWAN. Presence —and its necessary corollary, absence— is one of the main themes of this new production by Mar Aguiló, whose extensive career as a dancer (fourteen years in the National Dance Company) will also be present and, at the same time, absent. in the room.
In this dance of presences and absences, of performers and choreographers, of reality and fiction, two other names accompany the swan's flight: Tchaikovsky and Clémence Gross. Ancient —romantic, and even mythical— and nascent stories: Gross, who is also part of the cast of the Paris Opera ballet, represents a new generation of classical ballerinas facing the context of contemporary dance here and now...

_SuperMedium

_{Dance Performance}

Núria Guiu’s new work, accompanied in the creation by Norwegian choreographer Ingri Fiksdal, is called Supermedium and is part of the Cell 4 project, produced by Mercat de les Flors, Barcelona (Spain). The piece is a large-format version inspired by Medium, a solo that the two choreographers created in 2022. In the history of dance up to the present day, there are different approaches to the embodiment of the virtual or invisible. Witches or mediums have always been women associated with the fringes of society and superpowers. In Supermedium, nine dancers become mediums who channel movement through time and space, and such be vessels that connect past, future and present times. Through attempts of invocation, possession and finally exorcism of various movement archives, the performance grows into a speculative fiction that examines what kinds of bodily knowledges and histories we are in possession of as well as which bodies are possessed.
During the performance nine female dancers will be channelling movement from their own bodily-affective archives. Each dancer will transcend, mutate and reveal different traces of phantom movements. Movements that have been traveling through different bodies, through generations; maybe from a teacher to a student, from a mother to a daughter, from a video tutorial on the Internet to a viewer. Their bodies become possessed by movements that belong to different times and places. The movements can perhaps be recognized or named by the viewer in a subtle way while they fade, mutate, disappear or transform. Bodies possessed by many bodies. Bodies possessed by history. Bodies possessed by music. Bodies that transit both cultural, personal and virtual history archives during the time and space of the performance.

_Arkhé

_AV

Arkhé is an audiovisual piece inspired by classical philosophy and music, especially by Heraclitus’ theories and my favourites operas. Through this performance, I recreate the "Fire//Logos" concept as a dynamic, flowing and an opposing movement, giving rise to the air, water and finally, earth. Arkhé is articulated by four movements representing the four elements of nature in occidental culture. Therefore, the piece consists of four different atmospheres of light, colour and sound during the show.
This performance is part of a profound research and creation project that is being developed at different phases and routes of work.

Premiered at LEV Festival, Gijón

“Èpica ens ofereix el millor d’una discoteca: poder ballar bona música en un espai fantàstic i amb una llum meravellosa sense les normes d’un lloc per definició capitalista i heteronormatiu. Per a tots aquells que no ho sàpiguen: la llibertat i el respecte d’una dark room és això, amigues”.

_Bastet

_AV

Bastet is a ritual study, gliding the path from the rites of the ancient times to the realm of the modern ones. Bastet is the name of an ancient Egyptian goddess, closely connected to music and female power, who coerced humans to entertain her, and to keep her untamed animal side appeased. This A/V project was the result of the collaboration between filmmaker Pedro Maia and Lcc presenting our second album released on EditionsMego in 2017 and recorded at EMS Stockholm, IAC Malmö and my own studio in Gijón.

Premiered at Sónar Festival 2017, Barcelona.

_Hoth

^AV

Lcc in collaboration with the visual and creative coder artist Alba G. Corral, we presented this A/V show at Art's Birthday Party and Norbergfestival, Sweden. A personal combination of geometries, images and sounds that carried us through unexplored landscapes. A recreation of an abstract scenario where everyone discovers their own path as in Rorschach´s prints.

Premiered at Art's Birthday Party, Stockholm.

_D/evolution

_AV

This work is an A/V representation of the first LP that I composed in my former duo Lcc, which was released on EditionsMego, in 2014. This project is the result of our artistic residence atLABoral Centro de Arte, Spain, in collaboration with the visual artist and researcher Adrian Cuervo.
D/evolution reflects the parasitic relationship human/Earth. It examines the extent of the damage caused by the extraction andprocessing of minerals from the earth to achive an endless development and technological advancement, which inevitably has broken and deformed our natural environment.
