LAELLA proposes a sound and body journey through the most human path of the female role as a reference of the antagonistic worlds: city and countryside, urban and rural. The work is a journey between an urban woman and a rural woman, with electronic and folk music as representative resources. It is made up of 5 parts. Laella I: is the beginning of electronic music symbolizing the chaos, vertigo and restlessness of the city. Laella II: marks the transition between the electronic that represents the city and the sounds of folk music. Laella III: a “chacarera” dance, choreography adapted to the symbiosis of two women (a dance usually danced by a couple of men and women facing each other).

This piece represents the union of women as a central part of the work. Laella IV: is a recreation and development of a rural imaginary with urban elements. The masculine intervention comes for the only time through a projection, as a reflection on the presence of man in a purely feminine reality. Laella V: closes the work with a rustic folk song covered by the two women who end their journey finding their authentic and current essence.
