In Heurts, I explored the notion of rupture point. I was interested in the moment where the impulse is broken, victim either of itself or of exterior elements. The piece is a series of failed attempts to channel an energy that is slipping from our grasp, expressed by raw and playful undomesticated sonorities. It has been inspired by our improvisations in duet with my friend and colleague Sergio Castrillón.
