THE HOUSE OF FIRE is an site specific intervention in Fundació L’Olivar landscape in Alt Empordà, Catalunya. It is a pavilion with a tower shape that represents the human being and its settler power. Likewise it pays homage to the grandparent Fire; the author of all civilization and transforming of earth; this creator spirit and guide for visions, that guard us and makes it possible for us to create a home and claim a territory.
The ritual performance that activated this mystical pavilion, involved lighting the sacred fire to farewell the sun and greet the full moon inviting the audience to reflect about our ownership attitude towards nature, offering and connecting with the spirits that were called to the House of Fire.

Urban Intervention: Punto Social Temporal (Temporary Social Point)
As part of the Encounter of the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics of NYU.
Sao Paulo, Brazil, Dec 2012 - Feb 2013 / collaboration with Hannah Gardiner.

Using street performance/ intervention we created a social experiment addressing different themes: love, altruism, community living/support and informality as a real alternative of autonomous social organization for this new era of change of paradigm, crisis and peak oil. We made an interactive space to explore, listen and learn.
