In ECOS, Two Dancers Take Their Cues From the Landscape
Yalfrelys Farreras films two dancers in Peru on 16mm, with earth, water and air shaping the choreography.
How do you make a duet with a place? In ECOS, movement artists Verónica Garrido Lecca Uranga and Haziel Gutiérrez Assen set their choreography in the Peruvian landscape. Yalfrelys Farreras directed and photographed their four-minute film on 16mm. In the still below, a gap between the stone walls leaves the performers room to stretch across the frame. Their bodies look small against the walls, and you can see how much the space has to do with the shape of the duet.

Listen for the landscape, too
When it premiered the film in August 2026, NOWNESS described how composer Kevin Chepe worked sounds from the natural environment into the original score. Listen for the point where a sound becomes part of the rhythm. Chepe also edited the film with Farreras, who shares executive producer credit with Garrido Lecca Uranga.
ECOS was made in Peru in 2026 and runs 3 minutes, 53 seconds.
