Synopsis:

Mesura (Measurement). From Latin: measure.
The great virtue of temperance, of having your feet on the ground, of earthly things.
To go into a loop, live with the knots in your stomach and get up every day in the most elegant way.
Of calm within chaos and tranquility in privacy.
Of the peace of being with yourself, of the enjoyment and fear of loneliness.
Of revelation and perfectionism.
Of the DROWNING that comes from not having everything under control.

Life speaks and we are constantly changing, in search of balance, without going too much or too little.
MESURA dances waiting for you at different moments in life. In general, to the concern and concern that it generates.
Sustain, take refuge in movement, adapt to transitions and move forward.
Starting from scratch is surviving in the present.

There is no past in zero.

You have to know how to live with waiting to look the world in the eyes.

Dossier

MESURA' by RAQUEL FERRADÁS in Galicia Scene Pro 24, in the Praza de San Martiño Pinario makes me think again about that unique and incredible relationship that contemporary dancers have with the ground, even if it is made of hard stone. Raquel debuts with this solo in which the tension of waiting causes the monumental environment where she dances to transform into a sea, a ship, a bird, an angle that derives the circle from the repetition of gestures that seems to stop time. Here is the suspension of waiting, not only in the call, but also in the circular routines of repetition. But above all, for me there is the young woman, the qualities, the beauty and the power of her movement and the expression of her. An enormous force, I would say volcanic, which, however, does not manifest itself through staccatos or a segmented or emphatic or violent articulation, but quite the opposite. There is softness, delicacy, fluidity, wrapping... and yet enormous strength.
