Vica Pacheco - Eclipsis

06.01.2025 — 12.01.2025

Mexican-Belgian sound artist Vica Pacheco works on a new performance with ceramic sound sculptures, three dancers and light, set to premiere during Hear Here on May 16 2025.

“Light activates all the most fundamental things, keeping us within a tangible space and giving us knowledge of the place we occupy in the universe. Light coexists with darkness, which reminds us of the mother’s womb, the night, the death, the fear of the unknown and the silence. The image of the seed is an allegory of this relationship, as it needs darkness to emerge and then light to survive.

Éclipsis is a performance piece that mixes music, dance, and an interactive garden of sculptures, seeking to create through the minimalism of gestures and sounds, a celebration for contradictory elements, inviting the audience to merge into this fabulation with their mental images and memories.”
