The masterfulness lies in the familiarity of the gestures\u2014the hugs, the spins, the yawns the grimaces, the stretches, but how they are elongated and twisted, spun up and spit out, uncurling like ruby ribbons, or fleshly innards across the darkened floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost a year in the making, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Las Casas Invisibles <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is in many ways a uniquely Berlin production.

These ideas of transformation and flight do feel particularly relevant in a city as young, creative and diverse as Berlin, where changeover and socio-personal evolution is a constant. It is a feeling that Del Valle identifies with on a personal level: born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, she has lived and worked in numerous locations around the world\u2014New York, Montreal, Israel, London, Japan, Russia, and, now, Berlin\u2014over the last 15 years, something that her troupe have experienced too. \u201cThis concept of metamorphosis never really stops&#8230;I found similarity with the dancers\u2014they are from all over the world, and we all connected with that,\u201d Del Valle tells SLEEK. \u201cI had a flashback of myself in New York City, when I had just moved there from Puerto Rico&#8230;I kind of realised why I picked these dancers in the audition. They all share that with me: moving around to do their work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":83056,"id":83056,"title":"DSC_4711","filename":"DSC_4711.jpg","filesize":482970,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4711.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/kiani-del-valle-berlin-dance-show-exploring-migration-metamorphosis-funkhaus-floating-points\/dsc_4711\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"dsc_4711","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":83034,"date":"2020-02-05 09:49:34","modified":"2020-02-05 09:49:34","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1280,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4711.jpg","thumbnail-width":64,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4711.jpg","medium-width":1280,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4711.jpg","medium_large-width":1280,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4711.jpg","large-width":1280,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4711.jpg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4711.jpg","2048x2048-width":1280,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4711.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4711.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1280,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}},{"ID":83046,"id":83046,"title":"DSC_4009 Kopie","filename":"DSC_4009-Kopie.jpg","filesize":368807,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4009-Kopie.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/kiani-del-valle-berlin-dance-show-exploring-migration-metamorphosis-funkhaus-floating-points\/dsc_4009-kopie\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"dsc_4009-kopie","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":83034,"date":"2020-02-05 09:48:49","modified":"2020-02-05 09:48:49","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1280,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4009-Kopie.jpg","thumbnail-width":64,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4009-Kopie.jpg","medium-width":1280,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4009-Kopie.jpg","medium_large-width":1280,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4009-Kopie.jpg","large-width":1280,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4009-Kopie.jpg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4009-Kopie.jpg","2048x2048-width":1280,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4009-Kopie.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4009-Kopie.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1280,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"4","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Las Casas Invisibles\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> themes are echoed in its fluctuant musical framework.

In many ways the triptych of musicians was the springboard for how the show\u2014the first dance performance to headline Funkhaus\u2019s iconic Saal 1 to date\u2014came about. Del Valle was initially set to work with Raven and Floating Points on seperate ensemble projects, but after these were delayed, she was compelled to direct her own production. Meanwhile, the decision to have three artists perform was a personal one: \u201cI often work with the number three &#8230;I like that number for things that aren\u2019t matching together, but are able to show evolution, a contrast, or how they are different from each other,\u201d explains Del Valle. \u201cI feel honoured and lucky to have worked with these incredible artists in their own right,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":83048,"id":83048,"title":"DSC_4171","filename":"DSC_4171.jpg","filesize":239978,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4171.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/kiani-del-valle-berlin-dance-show-exploring-migration-metamorphosis-funkhaus-floating-points\/dsc_4171\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"dsc_4171","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":83034,"date":"2020-02-05 09:48:56","modified":"2020-02-05 09:48:56","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1500,"height":1152,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4171.jpg","thumbnail-width":125,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4171.jpg","medium-width":1500,"medium-height":1152,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4171.jpg","medium_large-width":1500,"medium_large-height":1152,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4171.jpg","large-width":1500,"large-height":1152,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4171.jpg","1536x1536-width":1500,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4171.jpg","2048x2048-width":1500,"2048x2048-height":1152,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4171.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":16,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4171.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1500,"wpvr_mobile-height":1152}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"10","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Out of this evolving sonicscape, a jittering and compulsive narrative bursts forth. The show begins with two dancers sitting back to back in a milky pool of light. They gradually loosen up and spin around each other as the other dancers descend like shadowy spectres from the aisles. The music fuzzes, burring darkly; the troupe twitch in unison, banding together in a scarlet wave, a single magnetic organism. The two dancers swing each other around, erupting in hysterical laughter. According to Del Valle, this first element of the show references her family history. \u201cThese are my older sisters and how they used to feel so much from another world to me&#8230;I put them on a pedestal and felt really different to them because I was so much younger, so the show begins from this idea.\u201d Out of this deeply personal starting point, the whole kaleidoscopic spectrum of human events and emotion spills outwards (Del Valle says she is inspired by everything from everyday arguments on the U-Bahn to the loss of childhood innocence to the radical futurism of Mark Fisher). \u201cIt shows you really quickly through vignettes everything from family to loss, sickness, friendship\u2026 saying goodbye, families going away, falling in love,\u201d she confirms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within the ceremonial space of the Saal 1\u2014a bewitching chamber not dissimilar from Berghain\u2019s cavernous halls\u2014<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Las Casas Invisibles <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">could be best described as an electrical storm, dazzling and violent at once, booming and shuddering before tenderly blinking away. Here, bodies trash and writhe, aching and rippling, trying painfully to cope and to be and to live. Through the dancer\u2019s wired scrambles and affectionate clutches, connection and disconnection flows like currents: hands so often stretched, fingers nearly tipping, seeking help and refusal at once. \u201cI am just really inspired by the vulnerability of humans, that\u2019s what moves me,\u201d says Del Valle. \u201cEspecially today when everyone is trying to sell themselves&#8230;I feel that I want to get to an honest place and that\u2019s what I often hear from people about my work: I make them feel that they are in an intimate situation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":83047,"id":83047,"title":"DSC_4027","filename":"DSC_4027.jpg","filesize":1062789,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_4027.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/kiani-del-valle-berlin-dance-show-exploring-migration-metamorphosis-funkhaus-floating-points\/dsc_4027\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"dsc_4027","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":83034,"date":"2020-02-05
