Being(S) in Past, Present and Future Time. Live and Projected Body in Margarita Bali's piece "Hombre rebobinado"

Abstract

"Hombre Rebobinado (Rewound Man)" by Margarita Bali combines dance with mapping projections. This type of stage productions confronts us with two problems: first, it shows us the dichotomies between a lived body and a projected body. This projected body invades the scenic space impregnating it with other spaces, but also with other temporalities. Body / space / time are thus related to each other in a dinamic conjugation of presences and absences. Then, it problematizes how the narration is constructed in this expanded dance / film work. Both problems will lead us to the Deleuze and Guattari category of rhizome, where each element that occurs as time progresses does not keep a strict causal relationship with its predecessor, but a complex relationship with the rest of the parts, like a root that bifurcates and rejoins, in which each particular element transforms the whole.
