The human body and the objects are the raw material of
their work and they do not use text. Their artistic expression borrows
from mime, theatre of objects, dance and acrobatics. Their creations explore
a non-.stage relationship with the audiences, who are always actively
involved and free to move around a monumental structure that they appropriate.
In 2003 they decided to transform the Pesce Crudo Group into the Etxea
duo so as to devote themselves to working as a couple, a more personal
and experimental approach. Frédéric Etcheverry & Gloria Aras artistic
research is evolving towards a personal form of corporal self-expression.
In their creations, actors and audience share the same space and encounter
each other in the course of the real-time ritual.
INEXHIB is the Etxea duo's first production. Since January 2005 the duo
are resident artistas at the Agitakt Theatre in Paris, which is devoted
to multidiscipline creations exploring the actors/audience relationship.
