Circadiano, choreographed by Valentina Kappes e Ignacio Díaz & featuring music by PUEBLOBSOLETO / Carlos Zúñiga y Bárbara Guerrero, is inspired by circadian rhythms, which in biology are the natural cycle of changes that the body experiences at different intervals of time. On stage, a creature has been thrown out of orbit, has lost the order of the terrestrial organism and has undergone continuous reorganizations stimulated by sunlight and the passage of time. It establishes emotional relationships with invisible beings and travels through unknown ecosystems.

The work began its research process in 2021 in a residency at the Bailarines de Los Ríos Cultural Center in Valdivia and continued in a technical residency at Centro Nave in Santiago. Circadiano will be making its US premiere in Louisiana in Sept 2024.
