Of Silk

Woven yarns to soften the air.
Where is their origin? To what point are they oriented? What lines do they provoke?
An invisible labyrinth inhabited by a dancer, which generates transformation. A device that shapes and refines itself, allowing the objectification of space, time, and sound through dance. It materializes, thus, the immaterial.
A game between real and virtual is proposed, expressed in the invisibility of the silk threads and in a choreography made unpredictable by the space itself. A path of secrets and aesthetic, sonorous and abstract magic.

Duration 45min
Target Audience M/8 years

The show works particularly well with the teen audience due to its specific physicality and the sensorial stimulus induced by the body in contact with the scenic device, producing vibration and a great deal of tension between sound and silence. De silk also hosts an imagery of animated forms. The audience tends to recognize images and produce narratives related to organic aspects.
