Bio

Inés Sarmiento has a degree in gestural theatre from Resad drama school and has trained in contemporary dance. During the 1990s she studied in Madrid, in contact with other creators dedicated to the research of scenic language. She settled in Ibiza in 2006 and founded the company from which she produces her works. She also develops pedagogical projects aimed at children, adolescents and adults, providing dance and theatre tools.

The following are among her professional highlights: Un hilito, EnSueños, La pareja (in)sostenible, El fin de las cosas and Hereva, works that have been performed in venues and festivals in Madrid, the Balearic Islands, the Basque Country and Switzerland. The scenic language of her latest works is characterised by the power of the image and the presence of a wild body nourished by the link between choreographic creation and the landscape.

Project

La muntanya, la mar. l'home, la dona (working title)

The project would be the third part in the Identitat trilogy, preceded by El fin de las cosas and Hereva, and consists of the creation of a stage piece that aims to celebrate the encounter between feminine and masculine, as two opposing elements that form a whole. The work is built on the metaphor that understands human beings and landscapes as a single body, associating the mountain with the masculine and the sea with the feminine. The research work will connect Ibiza and Andorra, two seemingly opposite geographical territories. “The stay at Faber Andorra is the opportunity to immerse myself in the history, landscape and traditions of the Principality, exploring the relationship between body and mountain through movement and the creation of visuals,” the artist said.

With the collaboration of the Institut d'Estudis Baleàrics (IEB).
