General information
"Destrucción Mutua Asegurada" is a book by Eva Guerrero, that compiles the texts, work diagrams and other unpublished material from the 4 years of stage investigation around "destruction". During this years the artist has been working in the "creative process of destruction", generating 4 performing works.
The initial concept arouses from the nuclear strategy with the same name, "mutual assured destruction", been applied in this case to the interpersonal relationships. With a careful design and poetical content, this book approaches not only the texts written by Eva Guerrero during this working time, but also everything that is behind the creation of a contemporary dance piece: working diagrams, suggestions, ramblings, smudges, etc.
The book does not require a previous knowledge of the pieces themselves, on the contrary, their reading is self-reliant. It hopes to seduce an unfamiliar reader with dance. It will contain approximately 120 pages of "destrucción asegurada", designed by Happy Ending and distributed by Belleza Infinita.
This projects needs your support and contribution to be carried out.
Many thanks in advance.
Quotes:
"I wouldn't have DONE WITH YOU if you haven't let me". "There's too much ECHO now, and the distances are longer and longer, and every time I FORGET MORE SCENTS and the soil is cracking and everything is drying out; and inside, all is broken though you can't see it."
Description of the project. Main features, strengths and differentials.
The book is a selection made by Eva Guerrero and Ángela Alonso & Elena Perea of Happy Ending of the texts written by Eva around the concept of "destruction". Preliminary assumptions, authomatic writing, baseline states, and texts said on stage. All this material along with some outline of how to run and choreograph a scene are part of this book.
Happy Ending has contributed with their outside view, plus a visual focus, fresh and close.
The book goes across 4 years of creation, but also of making mistakes, of destruction itself, of correction of whatever was already done, of sidetracking, and finding yourself again. The "creative process: destruction" has passed over many things, but it has also left some texts and a material worth sharing, revisiting and publishing now.
Why this is important
In this current digital era, a book is something more than a words vehicle. After having created dance pieces and having worked with the intangible, having the opportunity to do a dance object is almost a dream. If people like you, who appreciate design, poetry, words, creation and culture help us to give it a little push to this project, dance will have a new way to get to new people.
Yet you are usual dance audience, artist, or you have nothing to do with this world, you may like this book, it can touch you or make you reflect.
Will you give it a chance?
Goals of the crowdfunding campaign
This campaign enables us to bring this adventure to a successful conclusion.
If we get to reach everyone, seduce and convince them, we will be able to manufacture 300 copies of this book, with the design and touch it deserves, and through promotion and love make it reach the bookshops and others.
Thsi campaign will make this and much more, as once the book is done, the project will go on with presentations, talks and other activites, apart from remaining an open material for everybody at its site.
