Talking with @joaquiruiz about this video, we kept coming back to how complicated connection feels now.
We think we know someone because we’ve seen them through a screen. We build an idea of them before we ever really meet them. And somewhere in that, we start performing too becoming a version of ourselves that feels easier to show, but harder to truly connect with.
This video is about that distance. The characters we play. The loneliness that comes from not being fully seen.

#JustDance: Cayendo (2026) dir. Juanda Vasquez & Joaquín Ruiz
Exploring the roles we perform to protect ourselves, ‘Cayendo’ observes the complexities of group dynamics, with human connection as a bridge between risk and repair
Drawing parallels between self-discovery and the creative process, bodies in movement are framed as imperfect, uncertain, and evolving, slowly becoming what they need to be through interaction and inward reflection 🪞
