PROCESS "Heat Shimmer, Hips Quiver, Open Smother, Lipped Lover" presents a dialogue between the performative and installation work of Noela Covelo Velasco and Estanis Comella, the textual practice of Quim Pujol, and Alejandro Andújar’s scenography. A shared research process where scene, word, and movement act as catalysts. La Capella's space is reinterpreted as a dramaturgical structure, activating body, voice, and gesture. CONTEXT Curated by Margot E. Cuevas (Raccoon Projects), this proposal emphasizes the connection between methodology and work, process and outcome. An approach to the production and thought conditions behind each project, uncovering layers of work, creation, and formalization.

La Capella

Raval. Emerging creation in the hospital's historic nave.

La Capella, at Carrer de l'Hospital, 56, is housed within the structure of the old Hospital de la Santa Creu, founded in 1401. This space, originally a chapel consecrated around 1440, blends Ciutat Vella's architectural heritage with artistic avant-garde. Managed by the Institut de Cultura de Barcelona (ICUB), La Capella is a benchmark for emerging creation, with "BCN Producció" as its main program. Its halls host innovative proposals, setting a cultural pulse in the vibrant Raval neighborhood.
