The work of distortion as a mode of tuning form is now the starting point for choreographer and dancer Juan Carlos Lérida for this site-specific improvisation. Lérida enters the Museum space to inhabit it and encounter those forms that, through light and the people who traverse it, modify perception and emotion.

Juan Carlos Lérida is a dancer, choreographer and flamenco pedagogue, Extraordinary Prize winner 2007 from the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona. Since 2002 he has been a professor of Flamenco, Contemporary Dance and Composition at the Institut del Teatre. He has directed shows for Belén Maya, Marco Flores among others.

He has also created different solo pieces such as "The Art of War" or the trilogy on the bodies of flamenco. He curated the Empirical Flamenco cycle at Mercat de les Flors and is currently curator of the flamenco festival Tanzhaus (Dusseldorf). He is recognized as one of the current representatives of avant-garde flamenco. His latest creation: The Liturgy of the Hours (Mercat de les Flors, 2021) has been awarded best show and best dancer at the critics' awards (recomana.cat) in 2022. He has just published the book "The Empirical Flamenco Method".
