INPUT#OUTPUT - fragmented vision in a dream, extracts "The memories and dreams used to live the present time." As the memories and dreams are a discontinuous speech, timeless and in most cases disconnected of a time-line, how can we live the present and describe it as it is? We want to translate in an choreographic individual environment memories and dreams of each of its interpreters, in a journey of tensions and affections between present and past, giving us the percepction of the all - we must see the parts to see the all; while the spectator takes the percepcion of the (un)construction of the elements. We suggest a vision on the emotional instability that exists today in general people. The unexistent emotional controll… The alucinante pace that we live each day that passes, it may be a justification for how we deal with the problems of everyday life. In that sense, this work brings us to a situation of proof (tension), which may assist an interpreter developing emotions, which are gradually changing, being visible, not only internally, and externally. It is now almost common attend to a "lit discussion", which the screams dominate the "speech" and other things more or less violent to express what goes inside each one. Whether to relate to the next or to itself, the individual from childhood feels need to understand "what´s within ...". There is a constant demand to balance the our own intimate instability, or the one created in connection with the others. However, the balance is ephemeral and often achieved either in convergence and in differences. The aim of this work is also a reflection on the human experience and its relationship with the other, where the mutual exchange of influences is inevitable. However, it should not be associated to any study of psychology or sociology, as it seeks to address the issue of knowledge of the "I" and its relationship with the other thru movement and its forms and the final form with the video manipulation. It pretends to be a study of the ways that the movement acquires throughout the knowledge of each body and the relationships that it implies. We want to show a transparent live system thru body, music and visuals. In this system the words lose strength against the implied mean of the gesture. And in this infinite interaction, we find new spaces and shapes in ways that we inhabit, with the same inhibition with we hide them; we transcend the limits of individual and collective and dive in an uncontrollable pace where the common sense loses strenght and every moment is elusive and ephemeral. There is no spacial or temporal linearity, as our impulses come from different latitudes, and in a involuntary manner fleeing in a moment's notice. It is a travel in constant change and full of ideas that are crossed and overlaped.
