Hundreds of live Costume-Characters and Scenic Elements coming from the stage and other works are today mutant scenography in aleatory sets and actions.

Radical and rigorous, her installations provoke extreme views of the historical pieces, in the mixing with her contemporary pieces .

Mariaelena Roqué has created in total freedom, shapes and contents from a visceral-visual poetic cannibal performance in between Thánatos and Eros walking in non-stop and never looking back. The risk and the mystery of the unknown, are -call and aim- for N combinations to be, keeping on building the artistic-humanistic adventure in a conspiratorial alliance of drive and poetry. The costume as precious axis keeps on dressing-undressing the body and soul, looking for a true Solo Talk in time and space.
