Tagma

(2021)

Discovering, understanding, and giving voice to Tagma, has been a very interesting and enriching experience. I have been able to infiltrate the abstract idea of an insect trapped in a limited reality, following the futile hope of freeing itself, just to crash over and over against the glass. This idea resembles the experiences of the human being and their life. It has been a fantastic challenge to bring Tagma to life through Axel Retif’s language and ideas, taking advantage of the freedom he offered me as a performer in order to build a new musical discourse.
