Until There (video concert performance), 2009
Laia Cabrera with For Feather and Isabelle Duverger
“Until There” starts with images and movement as a visual storytelling, a sensual journey of the imaginary world of the filmmaker and visual artist, Laia Cabrera. Four screens with two video streams will surround you with a unique visual experience of timelessness and human landscape. She uses a variety of media: projected imagery merging cinematic arts, dance, photography, theater, visual arts, writing etc... As a part of the performance, Laia Cabrera will be working with visuals and drawing animation by Isabelle Duverger projected live in conjunction with indie pop/rock For Feather. The band has mastered the art of turning the mundane into the marvelous. Quirky melodies pull rather than push the listener, keeping things light with spacious harmonies evoking the early Beatles.
Performed at Monkey Town, Brooklyn, NY, June 8 and 18, 2009

La jaula bajo el trapo (multimedia theater play), 2008
A play by Maria Negroni. 30 minutes
This play comes from a poem in dialogue that presents the loving duel to death between a mother and her daughter. Their interaction is represented, however, as the daughter’s recollections of disquieting images, emotions and passions repressed by her conscience, a relentless guard. The mental space is intervened by the voice of a man that brings the external world into the scene in the form of a a radio emission with fragments of the urban life and quotes of both high and popular culture.

Singularity (video-performance-installation) 2006
Produced and directed by Laia Cabrera.
Inagurated the International video and Animation Festival in Spain, Lleida 2006.
“Singularity” employs a 3 canvas video installation using the imagery and symbolism from many sources. The piece is about the transitory nature of life and our intent to grasp, capture the instant.   In this work, a performer improvises silhouettes on the screens while the video artists play in real time with the visual imaginary. The work permits both the live and video levels to work together—to find a time/moment/space where they meet and merge to become one. The soundtrack has original music and a voice over of two women contrasting feeling and thoughts in order to understand their sense of strangeness with life.

The show takes place in a dance studio that functions as a rehearsal room by day and a “Milonga” (social gathering to dance tango) by night. When feminine and masculine mix on the dance floor, it leads to relationships that are at times suffocating, thrilling and contentious.
The work’s Spanish title, “Tango Por Ellos” plays with the multiple meaning of the word “por”, referring to Tango for them and by them.

Borderline, New York, 2003
Produced by Vertiginosas (Islands)
Written and directed by Maria Litvan
Music and Sound design by Laia Cabrera
"Borderline is entering into an imaginary space in which everything "is the truth and nothing more than the truth," but at the same time "it is all a lie." It is a journey in which there are no clear limits, time and space are all at once (there is no past, no present, no future, no here, no there). It is a journey in which the human need to organize and understand things is left without explanatory cues; it is then when we are free to interpret it as we want or as we need; maybe as we do in "real" life." Maria Litvan
