The Edge of the Universe, 2021
Photography by Diego Cervantes, 2021
This work choreographed by Irene Ruiz attempts to respond to the questions that emerge from the relationship between the human being and the Universe. What are the physical laws that govern the movement of the Universe? What kind of dance corresponds to the movement of the black holes? An elastic is the element that both keeps together and keeps apart the two main characters of this work who are trying to find out if they are really looking for each other.

In and Out, 2020
In and Out is a work that Irene Ruiz created during and in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This choreography explores the spatial differences between indoor and outdoor spaces, and how they can influence the creative process and the artist's inspiration.
