Transdisciplinary performance shaped by the idea and within the responsibility of communicating this particular time of the world, through a poetic and fragmented narrative that assumes as its starting point a journey on silence and on the echoes of a dream. Accomplished in movement, words, images and music, intends to combine the existence of a joint orchestration of a collective body in a suspended landscape. Performance resulting of several authorships’ merge and lived on the maximum amplitude of each contribution.
