This choreography was made for 4 dancers in an environment of audio interactive light sculptures. Made by Fernando Hernando Magadan and sound designer Harmen Straatman for the "TodaysArt" Festival 2009 . Performed at the Richard Meier's impressive City Hall in The Hague.

... The centerpiece of the program, Spanish-born choreographer Fernando Hernando Magadan’s “Naked Ape,” in its North American debut by Luna Negra, was the most fascinating and complex of the three pieces presented Saturday.
