OLIVER LAXE NOS SUMERGE EN SU UNIVERSO CREATIVO Y SENSORIAL CON HU/هُوَ. Bailad como si nadie os viera

On Tuesday morning this week, Museo Reina Sofía director, Manuel Segade, presented the installation HU/هُوَ. Dance as if no one were watching you, conceived specifically for this exhibition by Galician film-maker Oliver Laxe (1982). The show is accompanied by a film programme that encompasses Oliver Laxe’s entire filmography and a carte blanche session that sees Laxe hand-pick four films, screened in the Museo’s Cinema from Thursday, 29 January next year.   

Julia Morandeira Arrizabalaga and Chema González have co-curated this project, in which the installation, which has a forty-person capacity and will start afresh every thirty minutes, is on view in the Museo Reina Sofía from 17 December 2025 to 20 April 2026 in the Sabatini Building’s Espacio 1: “We couldn’t wish for a better way to get the new programme in Espacio 1, devoted to exhibition cinema, off the ground than with an installation that sees Oliver Laxe return to his roots”, Manuel Segade stressed.     

Laxe’s installation is underpinned by the creative process, research and recordings that culminated in the film Sirāt, winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes 2025 and chosen by the Academy of Cinematic Arts and Sciences to represent Spain in the category of Best International Feature Film at the forthcoming Academy Awards.
