Where do we belong to if we are constructing our own identity? What are the songs, gestures, and stories we carry with us when we are elsewhere? What if home is not a place, but a practice of care in motion? Which new roots can hold us as we move?

Cantes de ida stems from community art as healing practice, and unfolds as a living, breathing encounter between people, memory, sound and movement. It begins as a nomadic, participatory installation — a shelter in motion — where people are invited to share fragments of their own lived experiences regarding migration, fugitivity and being elsewhere. These contributions, translated into embodied gestures and sounds, become the seed for interdisciplinary improv-based performances combining drums, voice, dance and pre-recorded media; a scenic piece that, like micelium, weaves together and nourishes our different roots — a collective act of remembering, listening, and belonging. In collaboration with Nené Álvarez

About the artist
Guillermo Martín-Viana is a visual artist, creative coder, drummer, and improviser working across disciplines that range from traditional performing arts to interactive new-media technologies. His most recent multimedia works are based on the development of interactive generative visual systems with various forms of audience participation.

Nené Álvarez develops an interdisciplinary practice spanning performance, choreography, music, and visual arts. She collaborates with choreographers like Luz Arcas, Antonio Ruz, Judith Sánchez Ruiz and Peeping Tom’s Kitchen. Her work is grounded in improvisation, shaped by Mary Overlie’s Six Viewpoints and the research with artists such as David Zambrano, Julyen Hamilton, Thomas Hauert and Gaga movement. Rooted in a strong musical lineage, she works between traditional and contemporary music forms. She has been an artist in residence with ‘Oh bo(d)y, I miss you!‘ at Centro María Pagés and Fundación Antonio Gades with the double bassist Pablo Martín Caminero. In 2026 she will be artist-in-residence at La Normal (Córdoba) with ‘Cartografias del silencio‘.
