Vorágine follows the lives of a group of young dancers over the course of a year and a half in post-pandemic Argentina. Through rehearsals, spontaneous conversations, and shared pauses in dressing rooms and city spaces, it captures the emotional and physical intensity of artistic work, the essence of youth, and the strength of human connection, alongside the desires and uncertainties they face. It is an intimate portrait, immersed in the everyday rhythm of creation and life, torn between passion and weariness, staying and leaving.

A human comes into possession of a strange artifact that allows them to accelerate into an advanced stage of human evolution. Their transformation is initially terrifying, but eventually accepted. The old body dies and a new state of being emerges.

An infinite of unexpected connections is breaking everyday life. A meteorite, fleeting and burning, crosses the immeasurable city. It explodes in the intimacy of a skyscraper, and it explodes in their body which takes to dancing as a vital impulse. There is nothing more intimate and universal as dancing alone with music.

"Cáscara" is a contemporary dance piece composed for Vórtice company and directed by Luciano Cejas.
