El Pacto del Olvido
2022
Live Works nº9 Centrale Fies 55 min performance
El Pacto del Olvido investigates the historical silence about the civil war and Franco's regime, its intergenerational transmission and its effects on those born after the dictatorship: How do we relate to the past? Who recounts it? How do recount it? What language do we use to describe what happened?
Through an autofictional text, combining personal experiences, accounts, and documents collected during the research; the performance advocates the value of collecting different perspectives through memory and oral history, pointing out the edges of collective silence, and questioning the "official" narratives of history and their processes of transmission. Immaterial elements, such as light and sound, evoke personal and collective memories, including those of the author's grandmother, who lived through the Civil War, the post-war period and the dictatorship.

Concluded Without Agreement
(45 min performance)
Geo-Design Budget Airlines exhibition, Van Abbemusem Eindhoven—October 2021
What was said in the negotiation table to avoid the closure of Girona Airport? What brought the workers to “pull their trousers down”?
Concluded Without Agreement delves into the working conditions of Ryanair’s Girona cabin crew and the pressure they are under with the constant threat of the airbase closure. On a dramatized lecture format around a bargaining table, the audience is invited to read out loud a script based on first-hand interviews with union representatives who experienced the bargaining process, articles that appeared in the Spanish media about the cabin crew struggle, and the resolution of the trial against Ryanair for fraud and coercion of its employees.

(10 min Performance)
Moving in Stasis Exhibition, Het Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam
2021
From the construction of sound effects with a microphone and a cassette player, I activate personal and collective memories of Spain in the late 90s. On a script based on Joe Brainard’s work “I Remember”, I deepen into mundane memories, exploring the traumas Spain is still keeping underground.

Oficina Franco
2019
[12 min loop perfomance on
a 4m diameter wooden table]
Since the death of the Spanish dictator (1975), the Franco family has maintained the properties and part of the privileges gained during the regime. This has allowed them to keep expanding their patrimony and continue defending and protecting his legacy.
This 12 min loop performance shows, through the activation of different documents collected during the research, the money flow of the Franco family funding network. From small businesses like Parking lots, Pizza restaurants and souvenir shops in Madrid to the fascist foundation that manages the monument The Valley of The Fallen
