Spanish shooting star of performance art explores boundaries of the body

In The Death at the Club, Spanish performer and shooting star Candela Capitán explores the boundaries of the body through the relentless repetition of a single movement pattern. This 2018 piece, Capitán’s debut performance, lays the foundation for themes that recur throughout her body of work: alienation, free will, violence, fear, and the illusion of safety. Through a feminist lens and a signature blend of sensuality, playful energy, and disquiet, Capitán reveals the body as a playing field for power, desire, discipline, and resistance. Here, the club is a site of spectacle and freedom, but also of control.

The Death at the Club is not a performance to sit back and quietly watch, but a visceral experience that slowly but surely grips you by the throat.
