We are nature – and it lives within us
Inspired by Charles Darwin’s reflections on the wondrous complexity of life, Guy Nader and Maria Campos created Natural Order of Things.
Nine dancers transform the stage into a living organism – a constantly evolving, self-reorganizing entity that responds to its surroundings. Through cyclical movement and rhythmic precision, a hypnotic world unfolds, where the body becomes a landscape and sound a memory.
The latest creation by Guy Nader and Maria Campos has received seven nominations at Spain’s prestigious MAX Awards, including Best Dance Performance, Best Choreography, Best Set Design, Best Lighting Design (Conchita Pons), as well as Best Female Performance (Joana Couto and Maria Campos) and Best Male Performance (Alfonso López Aguilar and Guy Nader). It has also been nominated for the Critic’s Award – Premis de la Crítica in the category of Best Performance.
The piece is a physical manifestation of the duo’s long-term artistic research into natural phenomena and the balance between order and chaos. They explore the behavior of a group as a single organism – in constant transformation, precise yet unpredictable, much like nature itself.
The choreography oscillates between playfulness and intense focus, between structure and tension. The dancers move in cyclical patterns, forming a kinetic landscape with its own internal rhythm. The audience is invited into a hypnotic world of motion – a world where life reveals itself through rhythm, tension, and interconnectedness.
Natural Order of Things is an ode to life – to its fragility and resilience. It is a call to reconnect with nature through beauty, rhythm, and harmony.
