Intrinsic Moral Evil (Harm Weistra-Fernando Domínguez/11 min/Holland-Mexico/2013)
Intrinsic Moral Evil seems to be a tale of identity and coming of age. But above all, the three dancers play a game with the viewer’s perception and expectations: is it a memory, a dream, a search for identity ? Is it about losing of friendship or about growing up? The layered story gradually develops; revealing its last secrets just before the end credits start.

Etereas (Daniela Villanueva-Mara Soler/4 min/Mexico City/2013)
A hula hoop floats amidst a stunning location of México City. As it moves, a dancer appears and plays with the hoop. Every movement creates lines, impressive shapes and lights that float in the space as if being drawn to gradually create an amazing sculpture in movement.

Punto & Línea (Tania Reza-Oscar Velázquez/4 min/Aguascalientes/2014)
This work was inspired by Kandinsky's "Point and line to plane", emphasizing the ideas of the point as art work, and the movement as full of points and lines. In this way, we capture the dancers as geometric figures and the space as a plane.
