Bodies in the gap is a performance programme that explores the body from "the gap between discourse and materiality" (Peggy Phelan), from strategies like the explicit body, animality as strength or the recourse to touch.
A system in collapse is a system moving forward is the prologue to the drama piece The Touching Community which investigates the parallel expansion in 1980s and 1990s of AIDS and Contact, the dance technique in which movement was improvised from physical contact between two bodies, in sharp contrast to the politics of immunity ushered in by HIV/AIDS. Aimar Pérez Galí's research focuses on Spain, contexts from Latin America and the US, and will take the specific form of a drama piece still in process.
