SOLAS is Candela Capitán’s latest work and it explores the overexposure of the female body in the digital age and the effects of globalisation. The piece takes on five performers, five computers and an online platform where women see themselves while they are also being watched. The choreography, with a soundtrack by Slim Soledad, transcends the stage and invades the screen. SOLAS explores the repetition of the image, but also hyper-individualism and the (in)visibility of the female body in the data market, where it still is a commodity of desire. SOLAS aesthetic mixes Apple computers, smartphones and futuristic outfits, to tackle the capitalisation of the female body and fake identities on social media, offering the public a kaleidoscopic vision of fashion, erotica and digital culture.

Candela Capitán is a choreographer, dancer and performance artist.
With an elegant and transgressive handling of social platforms such as TikTok, Instagram or Chaturbate and borrowing from the body language and codes that are established in the younger generations through these platforms, the artist explores the body through performances where the possibilities of fun, pleasure and vandalism are virtually endless.
Capitán’s work seeks new body languages and discourses through different paths, practices and media, using choreographic platforms such as installation, live actions or video art. She wishes to investigate themes such as freedom, oppression, ambiguity in erotica, new technologies, the generation gap or cross-border relationships.
