Physical Theatre - Somnolencia
Somnolencia (“somnolence” in Spanish) is about two attitudes towards changes, especially amongst urban residents. It develops along three dialogues between a well and a river, which are boldly vitalized as a woman in pregnancy and the other delivering. The focus is put on the different "water" they have: different source, quality, motion and shape; reacting differently to temperature, time, surroundings and landscapes. In a loose "dialogue form", the well and the river encounters jumping topics in unconstrained set-ups of scenes. The audience could associate various metaphors of "the water" to their own observation or experience of life.
