The miscellany of texts compiled in this book traces, revisits, and highlights the work of a “conceptual clown, model-poet, magical porcelain cowboy, unbound narrator, and curator of pleasure,” as he defines himself: Juan Domínguez, one of the leading figures in what has been known since the early 1990s as conceptual dance.

“The freedom proposed by Juan Domínguez’s enthusiasm is not perceived theoretically, but is made, practiced, and experienced.”
— Victoria Pérez Royo

“And in this making, his perseverance stands out in revealing the mechanisms of representation with the humor and delirium of a poet who, playing with language, creates a new reality, sometimes clearly fictional and, at other times, extremely real.”
— Isabel de Naverán

“A work based on an indefatigable, obstinate, joyful, and persistent production of microclimates of intimacy.”
— Giulia Palladini

Juan Domínguez is an artist, creator, and organizer in choreography and performing arts, based between Berlin and Mexico City.

He defines himself as a conceptual clown, magical porcelain cowboy, model-poet, unbound narrator, and curator of pleasure.

Since 1992, he has produced his own work, exploring theatre as a medium and redefining the parameters of dance—body, time, space, and language.

His work emphasizes the participatory aspect of live art, seeking new ways to understand responsibility, commitment, and co-authorship among all involved.
