Anatomy of a Dance: A Poetic Exploration
Dance, a living poem, is woven from the threads of time, space, and energy.
Time We trace our lives through the whispers of hours, the sighs of days, the songs of weeks, the verses of months, and the epic of years, led by the rhythmic ticking of clocks and the turning pages of calendars. These constants offer a serene cadence to our existence. Even before birth, we are cradled by the steady pulse of our mother’s heart and the gentle cadence of her breath. Each heartbeat, each inhalation, forms a primal rhythm, a poetic meter of life.
Space Every dance carves out space, a stage where the dancer’s form and the surrounding void engage in a delicate ballet. This dance of presence and absence, of positive and negative space, paints a vivid picture, a moving canvas.
Energy The essence of dance is found not in the steps, but in their execution. The spirit of each motion, the fervor of each gesture, breathes life into dance, making it an expressive, living art.
As we watch, our biases may cloud our view. Yet, by embracing the elemental nature of dance, we can transcend these prejudices, revealing the structural elegance and emotional depth that dance holds.
Join us for an unforgettable journey as Muse Dance Co presents “Anatomy of a Dance: A Poetic Exploration.” This mesmerizing performance, directed and choreographed by the talented Anu Papp, invites you to explore the profound elements that shape the art of dance.
The event opens with the ethereal track from “Breathe for Peace: Sound of Oneness,” a global peace project that unites souls through synchronized breathing. This symphony of shared breaths resonates deeply, creating a moment of universal harmony and peace that touches the spirit and moves the heart.
Behind the Scenes with Anu Papp Anu Papp, the visionary behind this production, masterfully intertwines the rhythmic essence of time, the spatial dynamics of dance, and the emotional energy of movement to create a performance that is both visually stunning and profoundly moving.

By highlighting the interconnectedness of time, space, and energy, Anu Papp offers a fresh perspective on the art form, inviting viewers to experience dance in its purest, most elemental form.

Angelika Corral‘s new exhibition at the Venus by Water Art Gallery is a visceral and poetic exploration of contemporary femininity. Through a series of extraordinarily intimate black-and-white photographs, Corral presents the female body as a landscape of vulnerability and strength, fragility and resilience.
Corral’s images are characterized by a masterful use of light and shadow. Bodies emerge from darkness, illuminated in a way that accentuates curves, textures, and gestures. This technique not only creates visually stunning compositions but also serves as a metaphor for self-revelation and female empowerment.
Particularly notable is the variety of perspectives offered by Corral. Some works present abstract close-ups that transform the body into a landscape of sinuous forms. Others offer more traditional portraits, capturing moments of introspection or ecstasy. In all these images, there is a palpable tension between exposure and intimacy, between what is revealed and what remains hidden.
Movement is another key element of the exhibition. Several images capture hair in motion, creating fluid lines that contrast with the solidity of the bodies. This dynamism infuses energy into the compositions and suggests a femininity in constant evolution, never static or easily definable.
The inclusion of a poetic text at the center of the exhibition adds another dimension to the work. This “letter to the woman” serves as a manifesto, celebrating the complexity of the female experience. The evocative language of the text resonates with the surrounding images, creating a dialogue between word and image that enriches the overall experience.
What emerges is a multifaceted portrait of contemporary femininity. Corral rejects simplistic or objectifying representations of the female body, opting instead for an approach that honors complexity, contradiction, and inner strength.
Curator Cecilia Nansen has expertly orchestrated the exhibition space, creating a pathway that guides the viewer through different facets of Corral’s exploration. The arrangement of the works creates visual and thematic rhythms that amplify the emotional impact of the exhibition.
In an era when representations of the female body are often a source of controversy and debate, Corral’s work offers a refreshing and powerful perspective. Hers is a celebration of women that does not shy away from vulnerability or strength, embracing complexity and finding beauty in contradictions.
This exhibition solidifies Corral’s reputation as an important voice in contemporary photography and the broader discussion of female identity. It is a visual and emotional experience that will resonate with many and challenge others, but surely will leave no one indifferent.

The Nitroglobus Roof Art Gallery, curated by Dido Haas, presents a captivating new exhibition by artist MiuMira, exploring themes of connection, storytelling, and the ephemeral nature of human experience.
MiuMira’s work is deeply influenced by Margaret Atwood‘s quote, “In the end, we all become stories.” This philosophy permeates the exhibition, with each image acting as a chapter in a larger narrative of human connection and self-discovery.
The exhibition space is thoughtfully designed, with large-scale monochromatic images displayed against dark walls, creating a striking visual contrast. This presentation style enhances the dreamlike quality of MiuMira’s photographs, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully in each piece.
A standout element of the exhibition is MiuMira’s masterful use of light and shadow. In one image, we see a figure holding a fan-like parasol, their face obscured but their presence commanding. Another striking piece shows a close-up of a face partially veiled, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue.
The artist’s attention to detail is evident throughout. Delicate elements like floating dandelion seeds and subtle text incorporated into the imagery add layers of meaning to each piece. These details invite viewers to look closer, encouraging a deeper engagement with the work.
MiuMira’s artistic vision extends beyond traditional photography. The exhibition includes images that blur the line between photography and digital art, creating surreal and evocative scenes. This approach adds a contemporary edge to the show, demonstrating the artist’s versatility and willingness to push boundaries.
The curation of the exhibition enhances its impact. The strategic placement of images creates a visual narrative that guides viewers through the space. Interspersed among the large-scale works are smaller, more intimate pieces, providing moments of pause and reflection.
What sets this exhibition apart is its ability to evoke emotion and spark introspection. MiuMira’s work invites viewers to consider their own stories and connections, both internal and external. The artist states, “The greatest connection is between our own mind, heart, and emotions—the way we see and feel things, and how we translate them afterward in our unique way.” This sentiment is palpable in every image.
“Connections” at the Nitroglobus Roof Art Gallery is a testament to MiuMira’s talent and vision. It offers a deeply personal yet universally resonant exploration of human experience, inviting viewers to connect with the art and, by extension, with themselves. This exhibition is a must-see for anyone interested in contemporary photography and digital art that pushes the boundaries of storytelling and emotional expression.

Prepare to embark on a transformative voyage of the soul at the “Ritrosía” art exhibition by the enigmatic Celestial Demon, with an installation setup meticulously crafted by Moki Yuitza. This immersive experience will be celebrated with an opening party, featuring the evocative musical stylings of DJ Jill Agresti. Remember, the dress code is white, symbolizing purity and the light that guides us all.
The essence of “Ritrosía” lies in its profound exploration of the soul’s journey. Celestial Demon delves into the emotional spectrum that defines our passage from darkness to light. Each piece is a testament to the universal human experience, reflecting our collective struggles and triumphs. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on their personal journeys, finding solace and inspiration in the idea that even in the darkest times, light is within reach.
“Ritrosía” is not merely an exhibition; it is a narrative. It chronicles the journey from the depths of alienation to the embrace of belonging, from obscurity to clarity, and from suppression to self-expression. Through this collection, Celestial Demon captures the essence of transformation, urging us to connect with our true selves and recognize the shared path of humanity.
Accompanying each captivating piece, Celestial Demon’s poetic words weave a rich tapestry of emotion and reflection.
Here are some of the poems that enrich the exhibition:
“When the superb darkness envelops every circumstance, and the wind of silence tears the eardrums, the soul remains suspended, held hostage, grieving in the most silent gloom, in the dense fog of a weighty time, where every meticulous endeavor requires utmost courage.”
“In sorrow like the shadow that never distances, when anguish imprisons the breath, hope always whispers in the direst adversity. It becomes timid light, a flame that does not blend. A distant gleam, a promise just barely hinted. A candle that does not know how to perish, absenting itself from the coveted end.”
“That faint mirage awakens the dormant soul, stirring it with curiosity, blinding it in the pupils. Slaves to sweetness and discipline, the silhouettes indicate the path, observing the persevering murk that recedes, in the expanse of the sea’s roll, between waves and chains, pushing away the past night they never knew how to control.”
“Yet, in the shadows, hope grows, like a wild sprout defying its own frost. The newborn roots challenge the infinite abyss, transforming the gloom into a sweet nourishment, in the core eager to diverge, digging deep, into their fertile and hostile mother, showing that even from obscurity one can emerge.”
“Slowly the winter soul is exposed, on the ice that begins to yield, in the light dwelling among its cracks, revealing to the new world, the sensitivity that had forgotten its own name. It tends to dissolve, among the dying crystals, in the reflection of its own battle, presenting with invincible shyness, its blossoming flame.”
“In the heart, the warmth of the intimate forge pervades, tempering in the dance of every beat, the fire that knows only how to give without ever taking away. It molds the spirit into strength that moves everything, bringing forth its own unique truth, solely forging the rebirth, of a destiny that is born to stay.”
“After ages in the black ocean, a timid dawn, an uncertain horizon, takes shape like ink on white pages, in the fragile memory of the night, ever ancient. It adorns itself with brilliance in the crevices, in the scars marked by shadows, through the reality of that eternal past, ever patient.”
“Nothing will ever be as hard, as renewing the noble promise, in possessing only brighter days, without rain. The unknown path of life, at the height of its fragility, will never be the absence of nights, but dancing in every storm, because there is no wisdom, without pain.”
“Where the sky has painted itself with clarity, now it looks ahead with an unusual gaze. The path, accompanied by serenity, under the sun’s gentle kiss, embraces with renewed trust, the secrets whispered by a smile, through the wind’s granted bliss.”
“Seeing the world in its contrasts, in steadfast white and devastating black, within the folds of the soul, you give to light the strength to resist. Understanding that life, in all its shades, makes you a fighter and a knight, in an opportunity for continuous growth and rebirth, between the brightest day and the darkest night.”

Hearts in Journey: What I Know and What I Feel by Maddy ((magda.schmidtzau)at the Kondor Art Center is a profound journey exploring the duality between mind and soul, a theme that traverses the entire human existence. Maddy, through her works, invites us to reflect on the complexity of this duality, exposing the tension between what we know and what we feel.
The images are mirrors reflecting our inner contradictions, our deepest secrets, and the illusions we construct to protect ourselves from the truth. The ethereal faces and intricate compositions of her paintings speak to us of a hidden truth, a truth we often prefer to ignore but which is always present, ready to emerge when we least expect it. The mind, with its invisible chains, keeps us anchored to patterns and conditioning, but it is the soul that yearns for freedom, purity, sincerity. If only we could free the mind from its constraints, we would be able to reveal our most sincere colors to the world, walking lightly, without masks or veils, living our most beautiful days with clear thoughts and words that resonate like echoes of a beating heart.
Maddy’s exhibition is not just a series of artworks, but an invitation to deep introspection, to an inner journey where the mind and soul can finally converse, seeking a balance that always seems to elude us.
Each painting is a fragment of this dialogue, a piece of a larger puzzle that seeks to compose the complete image of what it means to be human. The beauty and fragility of the depicted faces are a constant reminder of our vulnerability and strength, of our capacity to love and be loved.
The exhibition at the Kondor Art Center thus becomes a sacred place where we can confront ourselves, explore the depths of our mind and the vastness of our soul, in an eternal journey of discovering what we know and what we feel. Maddy, with her artistic sensitivity, guides us on this path, offering us a vision that goes beyond the surface, penetrating the darkest and brightest recesses of our existence. The mind-soul duality is not a battle to be won but a dance to be learned, a balance to be sought every day, a journey that has no end but only intermediate stops where we can pause, reflect, and continue to grow.
A Journey in Hearts
The first work that greets visitors is an intimate and dreamlike representation of two faces approaching each other in an almost kissing gesture. On the left side, the text reads:
Hearts in Journey: What I Know and What I Feel
What I know can be deceit And what I feel a deep secret
Maddy
These words introduce the central theme of the exhibition: the contrast between what we know and what we feel. The dichotomy between deceit and deep secret is visually represented with great skill, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own experiences and perceptions.
The Freedom of the Mind
Continuing through the exhibition, another text captures attention:
If the chains of the mind vanished in the wind and the conditionings fell, fragile like autumn leaves humans would shine, pure and true revealing to the world their most sincere colors
Free from patterns, without masks and veils they would walk lightly, in their most beautiful days Each thought, a ray of sun, clear and bright each word, an echo of a beating heart
Maddy
These words are accompanied by a visual work that amplifies the message of mental liberation and authenticity. The artist invites us to imagine a world without mental chains, where humans can shine in their most pure and sincere truth, without masks or veils. This utopian vision is represented with a delicate and poetic touch, evoking a sense of lightness and natural beauty.
The Beauty of Details
Maddy’s works in this exhibition are a celebration of the beauty of details and human emotions. Each painting is a window into an inner world rich in symbols and deep meanings. From intricate geometries to ethereal portraits, each piece tells a story intertwined with the poetic words displayed alongside.
The Kondor Art Center provides an ideal setting for this exhibition, with carefully curated spaces that allow the works to breathe and visitors to fully immerse themselves in the experience. Hermes Kondor, with his vision and passion for art, continues to offer an important stage for artists like Maddy, whose creations manage to touch deep chords of the human soul.
Conclusion
“Hearts in Journey: What I Know and What I Feel” is not just an exhibition, but an invitation to explore the complexity of our feelings and the hidden truth behind our knowledge. Maddy, through her art, guides us on an emotional journey that leaves a lasting impression on the hearts of those who observe. Do not miss the opportunity to visit this extraordinary exhibition at the Kondor Art Center.
