The company was launched in January 2023 with the aim of creating works based on improvisational developments that emerge from rehearsals. Onaya makes extensive use of materials like water, earth, and cloth that give a feeling of tangibility; and the muscle tension/relaxation generated through sensations created when these come into contact with the skin is applied to her choreography. Moreover, Onaya’s works incorporate many theatrical elements that transform the relationship between people and objects depending on their positioning in the performance space.
