About David
David Garcia Garcia
is a Multidisciplinary artist. Physical actor, dancer and teacher-facilitator. Born into a big family in a small village in the north of Spain,
David studied physical theatre and dramatic art in RESAD (Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramatico) Madrid and BAI (Bizkaiko Antzerki Ikastegia) Bilbao. While studying at HfS Ernst Busch in Berlin he learned Contemporary Dance, Contact Improvisation Dance and Theater Improvisation.
Since 2010 has been working in different artistic Berlin projects and with different collectives and theatre companies like Kollektive Artes Mobiles (Leipzig), the Neuköllner Oper (Berlin)... as well as working as a model and camera actor.
Currently, he continues his career as an artist and creator with his last pieces "Intoxicated" (a solo of physical Theater and Dance) and "I'm liberation (but don't smile)" (Performance of Physical Theater and Opera).
David is passionately interested in how to enable personal development of the individual within a group dynamic, the springs that activate the connection of our body's creative impulses, sexual consciousness development in a mindful way, and the role of gender and sexual orientation in our society.
Intoxicated, 2018
Direction: David Garcia Garcia
The influence of a patriarchal society sculpting the way you move, the way you talk, even sometimes the way you breathe and the way you express love. Poisoning and repressing the spontaneity and authenticity of the being. With this solo of Physical Theater and Dance David would like to outline his reflections about masculinity based on autobiographic experiences.
I´m Liberation (but don´t smile), 2018
Direction: Ludwig Obst and David Garcia Garcia
Don't smile in the darkroom: in the world of gay cruising - whether online or offline - even the merest scent of emotion might be misunderstood. The unspoken rules in gay scenes of big cities like Berlin are clear. Unless you're horny, showing how you feel can seem more obscene than showing your genitals. Although it seems that a new generation of queer men is emerging with a greater level of emotional awareness, we nevertheless follow the old rules of engagement when we go out there. These behaviours, while briefly satisfying our immediate urges, often lead to deep loneliness, depression, addiction, and even suicide. Many of us have often wondered what it takes to develop genuine connections and effective ways of communicating not only what we want but how we feel. Combining physical theatre with live baroque & techno music, I AM LIBERATION explores the search for connection in the context of the community that has been developing around "The Village" (community center for QGTB men in Berlin) over the past years.

Hooking Up, 2017
Direction: Michael Rolnick and David Garcia Garcia
Through the abstract language of physical theater and dance, "Hooking Up" weaves a poignant narrative with potent imagery inspired by the lifespan of the performers. It begins with the innocence of childhood and gradually delves into the shadowy depths of the vibrant night scene in a metropolis, where the pursuit of connection, love, and idealized romantic models often dances perilously close to the boundaries of objectification, substance abuse, and profound loneliness. As a thought-provoking piece, "Hooking Up" proposes a profound reflection on the intricacies of human interactions and the multifaceted aspects of modern relationships.
