As part of the performing arts series held in collaboration with the Community of Madrid’s Teatros del Canal, the Museo Reina Sofía presents Mix-en-scene (2015), by choreographer and dancer Amaranta Velarde and artist and creative technologist Alba G. Corral. Mix-en-scene sets forth an acoustic, visual and choreographic experience, in which the dancer plays live music as she dances to the rhythm or uses choreographed scores. Images are projected onto movements and sounds, giving form to the three-dimensional space of the stage, where music, visuals and choreography co-exist. Just as the music is mixed live and follows the parameters of a DJ set, so too are the projections created in real time, giving rise to symbioses or frictions between different elements. The performance of the piece will be followed by an open conversation with the audience, presented and moderated by Isabel de Naverán. Date: Friday, 14 June 2019 Hour: 7pm Location: Nouvel Building, Auditorium 400 Organized by: Museo Reina Sofia In collaboration with: Teatros del Canal de la Comunidad de Madrid Curatorship: Isabel de Naverán Admission: Free, until full capacity is reached

Screening and Encounter. State of Malaise
María Ruido, still from the film Estado de malestar [State of Malaise], 2019
The film Estado de malestar (State of Malaise, 2019) by artist María Ruido sets forth an analysis of the malaise and illnesses stemming from capitalism in the information age. Setting out from texts by contemporary thinkers such as Mark Fisher, Franco Berardi “Bifo” and Santiago López Petit, and from conversations with male and female philosophers, psychiatrists, nurses and sociologists, people impacted and users of the healthcare system and their neighbours, María Ruido conceives this visual essay on social symptomology and mental suffering in times of capitalist realism, on pain that arises from the ways of life we are immersed in and on the places and actions of resistance and/or change we can build to combat it. The film score will be performed live during the screening by the group Edredón, the creators of the work’s original soundtrack. The film will be presented by the artist, along with the critical mental health collective InsPiradas. Together they will hold a debate after the film screening. Date: Saturday, 15 June 2019 Hour: 6pm Location: Nouvel Building, Auditorium 400 Organized by: Museo Reina Sofía Admission: Free, until full capacity is reached
