"... a creation of enormous plasticity that knows how to sustain its internal drive and that suggestive and enigmatic atmosphere." 

"A sublime game of two intertwined bodies that merge with each other in a magical way, capturing the viewer and taking them to a fantastic world where dancing is an expression of Love."

"It is the constant oscillation of the human. The emotional physicality from which the world is perceived. From which to search for the human totality. The transcended noosphere.”

"IN-SIDE [...] threw signifiers and meanings from the scene about complicity and bodily forcefulness."

"IN-SIDE choreographic miniature of enormous visual force and tremendous poetic charge executed with precision by Madrid artists Lucía Montes & Mado Dallery"

"Wearing cream and white, the duo moved with smooth abandon, reflecting and sliding off of each other’s mirror surface."

"IN-SIDE is an intimate duet that unfolds slowly and sinuously, like a ritual, intertwining two bodies—those of its creators—as they establish a powerful energetic connection through the physical."

"Mado Dallery and Lucía Montes combined with temperance and an adventurous spirit expressions that reach the performative, without neglecting the why and for what it is important to stop this type of content, which has so conditioned and affected all generations."

"We deal with the theme of condescension and how a body resurfaces from the depths of this feeling of nonconformity."

"In the same way as the costumes, which transmit the texture of the different layers of the skin, the music reinforces, from sensitivity, the choreographic work."

"MODA NO SOY, solo by Mado Dallery with music by Lucia Montes... in which they put their own bodies on the line, asserting their identity in the face of others' condescension."

"The staging reflects an intimate yet powerful atmosphere, with a set designed to highlight physical movement and emotional tension, and features a profound interaction with the audience."

"A hypnotic piece in which space, light, sound, and bodies create robotic landscapes—filled with movements of great force and physical power—evoking painterly images that traverse the space between classicism and modernity."

"...combines contemporary dance, experimentation, and highly physical staging. The piece reflects on how bodies and spaces are inhabited, constructing a narrative through silences, pauses, and abrupt movements."

"An extreme physical commitment—one that can be just as extreme in stillness. In our creative process, we are interested in commitment—perhaps to simple things, but seeing them through to the very end."

"IM/PASIBLES seeks the light, yet it is precisely in the act of searching that it finds hope. This work not only exposes the tensions of modern life—violence, hatred, individualism, the pressure we place on ourselves, and our impassivity toward our surroundings—but also stands as a ritual of transformation."

"The latest work by Lucía Montes and Mado Dallery" Listen below...

"What is interesting is how the creators address apathy, silent violence, or the indifference that seeps in—emanating from the body, free of superfluous ornamentation, and with a disarming physical sincerity."

"From their experience together, they understand that the end of one piece leads to the next, gradually building the foundations of a style and language that have come to define them."

"...they have premiered the trio After the Drop, featuring three bodies interacting and hinting at opposing concepts: destruction and transformation, the rigid and the malleable, change and fluctuation."

"The dancers' use of gesture is striking. Clad in Carla Paucar’s brilliantly conceived costumes, their hand movements—as if trying to grasp something beyond the void—and, above all, their facial expressions are remarkable; they avoid any frozen gaze, instead inviting the eye to leap across the void and follow the movement.

"They share the same vision of creation... one free from compromise or concession. It stems from combining studio work with reading about "subjects that interest us"—sources that provide words, theories, images, and sensations... philosophy, science, and dance share common traits."
