Ergonomics
Cie Pulso, Rocio Berenguer
Dance performance | video | burlesque
Fatigue, stress, bad posture, our body is badly treated in our daily work or in the way we move.
But to remedy this, Ergonomics has solutions. It promises us maximum comfort, safety and efficiency for our bodies in the future if we put its advice into practice…
Ergonomics is a fake ‘innovative company’ that uses and misuses the codes of ‘start-up’ and ‘innovation’ discourse.
During a danced and burlesque conference, in which the spectators are invited to participate, the strange Ergonomics team sells its services, with a certain taste for the absurd and the ironic.

Artist
Rocio Berenguer (ESP)
Born in 1987 in Spain, Rocio Berenguer has been living in France since 2012 and is interested in the major challenges and changes of our contemporary world – including the evolution of spaces of individual freedom within our society, the place of technology in our daily lives, environmental issues… Her creations are forward-looking fictions that explore the possibility of «another tomorrow». They also implicitly refer to our contemporary neuroses.
For each creation, Rocio begins a work of investigation and dialogue with scientists that generates a text that then matches with other materials, preferring to hybridize different mediums – text, dance, videos, digital art – rather than restrict herself to a single practice. The use of new technologies that are very present in her work is not a fascination but a desire to integrate them into poetic writing while questioning how these technologies, omnipresent in our lives, modify our interpersonal relationships.
In the end, it is the body that is the centre and the point of convergence of her work. The body visited by the social codes of behaviour, the body at the centre of identity, representation and desire issues. The body threatened in its freedom and sovereignty by the arrangements of neocapitalism, the body as territory to be reclaimed.
