“I think that perhaps our life is only a version of many, and that everything, except us, happens once again. Maybe that's enough. And my atoms and yours, like pixels in an image, aren't ours, and one day they will separate to give rise to other images, other stories.
And you and I, who have come from so far away, who have crossed the cosmos to end up right here, will dissolve, little by little, into the eternity of which we are already a part of.
I look at the particles again, I admire their trajectory, their position.I don't want to keep looking at them, I don't want to look at anything lifeless again.”

In this work, two bodies jump from image to image as in a succession of frames. They intertwine, overlap, and orbit, creating images of great poetic power, moving between shadow and light, between physical space and the images on the screen, accompanied by a drone, a virtual being that is sometimes a pet and other an inert satellite or the personification of the eternal life that technology promises us. In an empty space, a tabula rasa where anything can happen, the movement of bodies –as in the celestial vault– traces the history of time. TODO ESTE RUIDO is a hymn to the light that crosses the cosmos to give us form.Created for two performers and a drone, the piece draws on the powerful fragmentary and photographic narratives of comics, the field of CGI, the imagery of sci-fi, and special effects, to speak about the myths of the creation of the world and the contemporary account of genesis, about our symbolic position in space and time, about how we got here, and about what is to come.
’’Diego Pazó displays a formidable strength in the dancer’s constant lifts; always with a fluid phrasing, without any noticeable effort, and inventing genuinely innovative steps. The connection between them transcends mere overlapping. Lucía embraces her partner with absolute trust. Every movement is planned and executed with millimetric precision. [...] The acrobatics, the virtuosity that undoubtedly underlies some steps, is at the service of beauty, of the movement itself; it doesn’t seek to show off. It is fertile in truly beautiful poses and finishes. The drone, almost always overhead, sometimes dictates the movement; but it is also a subject to be explored. If symmetry is the goal, it is achieved impeccably: for example, the final section executed on the floor is of great precision and originality. The intertwining of the two bodies is innovative; there are few repetitions, and they are necessary to appreciate the varied registers. [...] In short, an exceptional contemporary dance duo that manages to weave a story with fluidity and without mutual intrusion between the physical energy and the technical and visual elements.’’ Teobaldos, Noticias de Navarra, 2025
’’Diego Pazó and Lucía Burguete burst onto the stage with a choreography in which their bodies, like particles, collide, approach, grasp, and release in a fascinating dance monitored by a drone. At times, the delicacy of their gestures is reminiscent of a motion capture test, of a pair of figures closer to digital imagery than to the heartbeat of a flesh-and-blood body that throbs and crawls along the cobblestones of the stage. [...] Qabalum invites us to dance with some of the tropes of science fiction, to appropriate these imaginaries of the future, under the gaze of a drone that misses no detail, a symptom of a hyper-monitored society in which no gesture goes unnoticed. And that, precisely, is something that is evident in the time this duo takes to present their intentions, in the natural way with which they take over the space, and in how they are able to construct figures, images, words in motion.’’ Óscar Brox, Redescénica, 2025
’’Pay close attention to TODO ESTE RUIDO by Qabalum. Because of the technical brilliance with which they move and how they can connect with the interests of the younger public. They set the bar very high.’’ Jordi Sorá, Escenas de la Memoria, 2024
’’It is worth highlighting the quality of movement achieved by the company, which, based on contemporary dance techniques, finds its own register that manages to transmit the sensation of lightness and fragmentation [...] that planetary and galactic perspective of humanity, that, coming from the dust of the stars, we will probably end up turning back into dust, whether from stars or ashes depends on the pessimism of each one.’’ Júlia Vernet, Núvol, 2024
’’In Tàrrega there are people who dance fireworks [...] Diego Pazó and Lucía Burguete move in a dance of the future, which discovers mechanical movements and innovative aesthetics that hypnotize them, and that hypnotize the spectators.’’Magí Camps, La Vanguardia, 2024
’’TODO ESTE RUIDO is a good choreographic piece, with an abstract plot line that allows each spectator to build a plot and that shows how the devices have a soul within a show.’’ Jordi Bordes, Recomana.cat, 2024
