Juan Pablo Cámara – Sophiensæle | Freies Theater in Berlin

Juan Pablo Cámara is an Argentinean-born, Berlin-based choreographer and performer who graduated from the School for new Dance Development in Amsterdam. Cámara conceives his artistic practice as a space for exploring forms of intimacy between bodies, ideas, and environments. Through autofiction and fabulation, he develops narratives that question and destabilize dichotomies such as online/offline, familiar/strange, personal/universal, and cultural/natural. With a subtly satirical and often absurd tone, his works situate (im)possible contemporary subjects in states of drift, revealing worlds in which the boundary between fascination and horror becomes increasingly unstable. His most recent works La cosa piel and Main, Main, who’s there? were co-produced by and premiered at Sophiensæle. In recent years, he has been an artist-in-residence at Tanzhaus Zürich, Work Space Brussels, Kiasma Helsinki, DIORAMA Berlin, Tapiola Studios Helsinki and Sophiensæle. As a performer, he has collaborated with artists including Adam Linder, Ligia Lewis, Michele Rizzo and Jefta van Dinther.
