EFUGIO · 2020
Efugio proposes an exploration of the body’s resonance in space. In that sense, it is a research on how time inhabits space. A dialogue between the codes of dance and experimental film. The perceptive axes unfold to offer another reading of the complex language of movement, rhythm and image.

babelian circles · 2017
Babelian Circles is an immersive and hypnotic dancefilm where music and dance draw a sinuous journey along a solemn desert landscape.
To walk along a lone path. To witness the silence of a landscape. To measure space with gestures and trace circles around time. To bury my feet in the ground and raise my arms to the sky. To become a little ant and disappear before the eyes of the world.

“The movement, the music, the cinematography - everything was beautiful. The three aspects worked in harmony to create a piece you can only experience through film. The camera work was as much part of the choreography, as the dancer was the landscape. Loved it.”
“Certainly a dancinema film - blending the art of a moving camera and moving subject”
“Y el último vídeo de la noche fue «Babelian Circles», de Emma Villavecchia, una muy buena propuesta donde la danza sí tomaba el protagonismo compartido con hermosísimos paisajes grabados a base de drones”
“Entre los vídeos cabe destacar Babelian Circles, de la barcelonesa Emma Villavecchia, por la belleza romántica de sus imágenes áereas”
