Mareas y Arrullos
A journey from the warm embrace of the maternal womb to the first steps into the vast world, through interactions between people and choreographed objects.
The piece retains elements of stage performance and adopts performative principles more akin to an ecosystem, where each performer and object behaves as living organisms in harmony.
Audience members are encouraged to construct their own interpretation of the world presented from various spatial perspectives. The performers and objects do not adhere to a traditional audience-facing approach but coexist in a space designed to stimulate the senses with sound, movement, and visuality.
The piece pays tribute to the movement principles taught by Nancy Topf, fostering harmony, health, and a sense of weightlessness in dance. Acknowledging the significance of addressing early childhood creation with earnestness and exploration, this piece offers a unique experience that captivates both children and adults alike.
