ANTONIO PÉREZ FOUNDATION.

IX HERITAGE STAGE FESTIVAL.
JUAN CARLOS LÉRIDA AND CARMELA MUÑOZ. The inevitable: between rhythm and mysticism.

Understanding the artwork as a vessel for experiences and practices that permeate bodies, Carmela Muñoz and Juan Carlos Lérida view heritage works through their own. As a revealing distortion, as a sensation of suspended time. A kind of mirage that allows the inevitable to manifest itself.
A project of memory, research and creation where the work is life itself.

• Date and time: September 12th. Two shows: 20:30 pm and 22:00 pm
• Duration: 30 minutes.
• Artist in residence.
• Capacity: 50 spectators per showing.
• Entry by prior reservation at: https://fundacionantonioperez.com/eventos/escena-patrimonio-juan-carlos-lerida-y-carmela-munoz-pase-2030/
