’It takes two places to make a border. This space full of linesparallel to the time that crosses usand that is neither true nor unique nor ours. No, we will no longer be a recipient of anything,neither the size that shall divide us. And despite thathow could we even guessthat this was the future?’’

In LA MEDIDA QUE NOS HA DE DIVIDIR two bodies lay, measure, intertwine, caress, pierce each other creating a choreographic script about affection, passing of the time and human impulses. A duet about the will of being together, of sharing a life in common and how to sustain it not knowing what the future will hold behind its horizon.The project received the support of the DNA 2021 Program, of Dantzan Bilaka 2022 and was granted another by the Residences of the National Dance Company 2022. The piece has also received the Focus Days Award at the 10 Sentidos International Contest 2022, the 1st Prize at the VIII DanzaXtrema Choreographic Contest, was selected in the 2022 Red A Cielo Abierto catalogue in Danza a Escena Catalogue for open spaces shows in 2024.
“The tension that the two performers generate with their bodies resides in the flexible interlacing, in the traction of arms and legs, in the jumps and positions on the ground and on the back, in the alignments of the jumps, in the dynamic grips performed in the air, in the mouth caught by the hands. Measuring each other in the passage of time, they stop and distinguish themselves, to be together again.” Giuseppe Distefano, Exibart, 2024
“This young company has managed to burst onto the scene with force [...] and, without a doubt, LA MEDIDA QUE NOS HA DE DIVIDIR has a quality as great as the performance and composition skills of those who integrate Qabalum. I will never get tired of repeating the idea that professionals like Diego Pazó and Lucía Burguete are the ones we should place our hopes on to bring about a generational change in contemporary dance in this country.’’ Luis Alberto Sosa, Achtung Magazine, 2022
’’This couple from Navarre has a very interesting body of work and we will have to keep a close eye on them. They have wonderful control over lifts and partner acrobatics and blend beautifully when they dance in unison.’’ Santiago de la Fuente, Redescénica, 2021
