Porque la perdí / Because I lost it
2008 Gavín / 21'

HDV / 16:9 / Spanish / English Subtitles

Porque la perdí (Because I lost it) talks about the memory of the natural environment of one place, through video, dance and performance in situ.
Some elderly people from Gavín, a little village in the Pyrenees (Spanish Mountains), talk about their lives then they were young and their relationship with nature and landscape: work in fields, the forest, the water, the paths, etc, and how that relationship disappeared.
From those testimonies, dancers and camera improvise and interact with the environment, looking for the lost memory, with the intention of finding it and give, to this place, a new dimension.
