MOOM questions communication, the joint creation of an action, of a space, of ways of interacting. We are faced with the question of the unknown, the privilege of not knowing what will happen. Music and dance converse, dialogue, coexist in order to clarify creation and recognise it. We start from the fact that there is already creation, the question is, how does it sound, how does it move, from where do we look at it?

Our compositions are created instantly, with listening and commitment to what is happening, the material that is born is cared for and listened to. It is said and read at the same moment, drilling the time to taste it with dedication.

MOOM
Raimon Molà and Maria Mora are in the summer of 2022 in a joint research, under the umbrella of the Master in Improvisation at ESMUC. The research revolves around the communication and interaction between music and dance in the language of Free Improvisation. A space for observation, listening and reflection on what takes place when improvising from two different disciplines. Understanding brotherhoods and divergences between the two disciplines.
