Irregulars

Biography

Azucena Momo is a multidisciplinary artist interested in body practices, relational geographies, ecology and community. In 2019, she founded her company Irregulars, through which she has developed contemporary dance projects in public spaces and walking performances. The blending of disciplines extends to her work in sound, podcasting, and documentary forms.

Azucena has a Master of Art in Public Space at the FAI-AR school in Marseille, which reflects her ongoing interest in public and common spaces. Since 2021, her work embraces a sober narrative that prioritizes the voice of non-hegemonic cultures, non-institutionalized knowledge. Her artistic practice increasingly engages with a rural landscape and the relationship in between bodies, inviting a deeper reflection on how we coexist within the environment. This approach allows her to localize and deepen her artistic practice, fostering connections between people and places.

Artistic project

Wild Walk Gathering is a hybrid proposal that merges a walk and a performance, inviting participants to explore the world firsthand through a choreographic adventure, set in a natural or rural landscape. This site-specific work revives the memory of a forgotten or rarely traversed trail, breathing life into the landscape and activating it through the presence of our bodies. It creates a collective choreography imprinted into the land, while also experimenting with new dramaturgies that place the audience as a central actor in the artistic proposal.

The project aims to highlight and share the experiences and challenges of shepherds who work on extensive livestock farming in the Pyrenees. Through this artistic gesture, the work invites the audience into an experience that also speaks about themselves and how the impact of tourism, climate change and globalization in rural areas shifts policies and reshapes the way of life of their inhabitants.

Taking into account this human relationship with the environment, we ask ourselves how do we address fear, extinction narratives, and the idea of a wild nature that escapes our control? How do we perceive other ways of living? Are we capable of coexisting in diversified relationships that are not limited solely to the human?
