Janet Novás: She Night
Dance. Running time: 45 min.
She Night is the title that starts a research process that will be presented by Janet Novás. In this new project, the artist wants to work alone again to gather all the materials she has developed in her last two creations, Proto#SN1806 and Where is Janet?, thus closing a trilogy that marks a turning point in her work. 'For this project, I wish to create a performance, a film, a concert, to be an actress, a singer and a dancer. I want to combine all my concerns as an artist and get carried away by the pleasure of doing so in order to transform this inner drive that keeps me here. To put myself at the service of all these desires, visions and intuitions and to discover who She Night is. A fiction that invites me to fly to just be without having to explain myself. A creature that is born out of the darkness and that speaks of what cannot be seen, but is there'.
Janet Novás (1982, O Porriño, Spain) is a dancer and an artist. She learned contemporary dance between Madrid, Brussels and Berlin. In 2008, she began to develop her own projects. Her work is based on the observation, experience and dialogue with her body as her main tool, betting on her own language, shaping the emotional content and the aesthetic simplicity characteristic of her work. Her creations have been presented at prestigious national and international festivals.
She has collaborated with artists such as Mercedes Peón and the fashion designers Zap&Buj. She starred in the film The Rye Horn, directed by Jaione Camborda and was awarded the Golden Shell at the San Sebastián Festival. Thanks to her role, she also won the Goya Award for Best New Actress 2024. Moreover, the film was selected for important international festivals, such as the Toronto International Film Festival, the Busan International Film Festival and the BFI London Film Festival.
