Double Sided by Anto Lloveras and Mateo Feijoo stands as a potent example of conceptual dance operating at the intersection of performance, sculpture, and quotidian gesture. The piece disarms theatrical convention by stripping away narrative, drama, and decor, privileging instead micro-variation, repetition, and minimalist composition. With a two-channel structure and a live-action sensibility, it aligns itself with the lineage of 1960s North American minimalism, the existential absurdity of Beckett, and the performative installations of Erwin Wurm. The performers, neither actors nor dancers in the classical sense, inhabit the space with a kind of radical normalcy, enacting gestures that feel both banal and meticulously structured. The work unfolds as a durational tableau, where bodies act as both medium and material, continuously negotiating rhythm, balance, and relational tension. References to Dieter Roth’s transportable mass and Paul B. Preciado’s anti-normative thinking enrich the conceptual grounding, while each site-specific presentation — as in Doble Cara 008 La Gomera — subtly reconfigures the system without altering its essence. Double Face is a distilled, critical response to spectacle, choosing instead to foreground the politics of presence, process, and repetition within a rigorously constructed minimalist frame.
