To define Mercedes Mais Eu speaking of desire is inevitable. That desire that finds reasons to project itself beyond a first encounter, to become re-encounter, conversation, experience, affection... Persisting in that desire, which updates itself passing through the project, is to underscore what happens to us in each encounter. But it is also to delve into what is our own and what is shared, which is beyond subject and territory. Or at least that territory, written in capital letters, hegemonic, which imposes itself and constructs us from outside, defining our limits through shapes and patterns that have nothing to do with inheritance or memory. That memory or living archive that updates with desire, distancing us from our own immanence.

Mercedes Mais Eu is a work of collaboration between the artist Janet Novás and the composer Mercedes Peón in which they both explore the particular relation that exists and establishes itself between "her dance and her music." Among instruments, memories, songs, and dances, concepts, in different stages of latency, surface. Some of them, of high socio-political content, are present in the material, from musical to dance and biographical objects; other somatic concepts or quantum experiences appear in the pulses, rhythms and tones, in the voices and in the dynamics, in the silences, in the shapes. Mercedes Mais Eu looks toward the collective and does so from perspectives and sensibilities not at all archetypal. The work is also a subtle proposal on shared sensibility and a commitment to artistic action and knowledge.

The work, in feminine, is a music-dance hybrid full of evocative images. It is divided into four sections, allowing it to inhabit different architectures or frameworks, from more theatrical to installational and museum contexts.
