UBIK Performance Night // Poncili Creación
For our season closing ‘UBIK Performance Night’ WORM is thrilled to host "Poncili Creación", who are going to present Dirty Laughing Molecules !
A message from the makers: We invite you to try a soup of movement, matter, colors and sound. An interactive spectacle designed to give a good shake to everyday life in a multi-sensory kind of way, that will make the whole family laugh while still giving them goosebumps. A wordless talk about freedom and the power of creativity in the 21st century disguised as a puppet show. Giant creatures, wannabe dance movements and group exercises come together with the sole purpose of navigating the complex labyrinth of the mind with a feather and tickling your soul. Buen provecho!
Poncili Creación is a performance duo based in Puerto Rico that focuses on creating foam rubber sculptures to be brought to life. These sculptures, created to be manipulated by the human body or parts of it, with some as small as a coin and others as large as cars, are tools for creating whimsical power that stains reality. In their ritual/shows they attempt through a series of unorthodox methods to convince the audience that everything is possible.

The Puerto Rican punk-DIY performance collective on challenging institutional norms for making theater
by Ruby Brunton
"Combining the attitude and methodology of punk DIY with a love of experimental noise and dance, stretching the limits of creative possibility as well as the imaginations of their cobbled-together audiences, Poncili Creación never stops touring, never stops experimenting, and almost never says no to an opportunity. Their performances become parties, community spaces, venues for political discussion, and recruitment events for future collaborators… Poncili Creación presents a take on performance-creation and execution that opposes the traditional black box theater. Any space can be a venue; any fan can become a collaborator; and any event can be host to a performance. Theirs is a message of hope as state and societal support for the arts dwindles.

Poncilí Creacíon Capture the Spirit of Mass Protest in Puerto Rico: With Somxs Podemx, the duo revitalizes older models of street performance.
By Eva Díaz
"In previous works, Poncilí Creacíon have turned cars into fantastical mobile parties teeming with flamboyant beasts. Revitalizing older models of street performance, their weird and wonderful aesthetic of combining found materials and cheerful bricolage offers a creative new approach to public art… PoncilíCreación root their performances in what good art has always done: radical reinvention.
The show will be accompanied by a local musician, who will join the performance and create the sonic atmosphere
**Francesco Zedde **is a musician based in Utrecht, he is devoted to drums and electronics. If you ever heard about him, its probably because of his project Tonto or his series Discomfort Dispatch
