The Company

"The prism, in geometry, is a meeting of parallel planes that generate an infinite number of facets. Thus, Lost Movement is a meeting of artists and visions, as a prism that refracts the light of creativity in multiple directions. The Company was created to give shape to different points of view, because only the plurality of visions can generate new solutions. Our research feeds on different perspectives, exploring the nuances of gender, inclusion and the recovery of traditions. Our associated artists are part of this prism: other points of view to be added to our ideas. In a world that often loses humanity, we try to find it again in each movement, one fragment at a time."
