During the work for the performance "Entre Espacio" for the Museum of Contemporary Art in Castellón (EACC), we found ourselves confronted with the question: How can I express content with my body? With this question, we go back in the timeline. Lawrence Weiner, a concept-artist, gives us following sentence: "Twisted and turned under the sun" and further: "Rolled through corridor of containment to rest on a level surface" Then, we go to Nijinsky and his ideas about physical expression. Further, we go to the classic and sacral music and their connection to the emotion.

It is a short piece that opens a discussion about the possibilities of the expression of an abstract content, from the mental to the emotional expression.
