encounters

encounters is an interactive dance performance conceived for urban and unconventional spaces. The proposal breaks the traditional separation between stage and audience, integrating the spectators into the performance itself: the performers They could be any passerby, merging the energy of movement with the emotion of the moment. It is a small-format creation (lasting approximately 20 minutes) that premiered on April 30, 2015 at the 28th Vila-real International Carrer Theater Festival (FitCarrer).

Synopsis

In meetings a new friendship, a new love or a new project can be born, and its power lies in that can change the course of an entire life –Chance or perhaps destiny plays an almost mystical role there. In encounters, the action takes place on the street, without the typical frontal layout of theaters: there is no "display case" separating the artists from the audience, and the protagonists could be any passerby. The staging invites the public to actively participate, breaking down the barrier between spectators and performers and creating an emotional close encounter in real time.

"Eyes that meet in the distance,
in an instant,
the time stops,
the rumor remains mute and the words are on that frequency that only the soul understands. This is how a story begins."

Life is full of encounters, fortuitous, planned... it is in the encounters where a new friendship, a new love, a new project is founded. The power of the encounter resides in the fact that it can change the course of a lifetime and chance, or perhaps destiny, plays an almost mystical role.

In this show, we work from the concept of the street itself, without that place of exhibition typical of the theaters, it breaks with the concept of the preparation or placement of the public, there is no showcase and its protagonists could be any passerby of the street.

It is a show with public interaction where the energy of movement and emotion merge.
