Direction and choreography Alicia Soto
La Petite Voiture 2.0 is a traveling technology and dance performance that breaks the fourth wall to constantly interact with the public. A performance in which spectators must follow specific instructions to be able to enjoy both the video creation captured in the 4 windows of the stroller, and the live interpretation of the choreographies of the Countess and the driver/gentleman.
La Petite Voiture 2.0 es una nueva producción de la exitosa y revolucionaria pieza de la compañía Alicia Soto-Hojarasca de 2011 La Petite Voiture. La Comtesse. Presenta una profunda crítica al patriarcado y la estigmatización de la mujer a través de aspectos como el dinero, el glamour y la belleza.
La Petite Voiture 2.0 introduces us to the Countess and the Gentleman. The second represents glamour, the superficial world that we all love and desire at some point.
The Countess lives hooked on him and what it means to be trapped and try to escape every day to free herself from her bonds. However, it is not easy to break the chains when the brightness of everything around you blinds you.
The myth of Sisyphus serves as inspiration to show a society in which everything repeats itself in a continuous and exasperating way. Furthermore, the show raises different questions: what is the price of money really? How are we socially conditioned? Do we all hide a little voyeur inside? as well as, a reflection on love, confinement, claustrophobia, social ties or the idea of God.
Finally, the stroller is another character in this story, representing the Countess's inner world that we can discover through her windows and, on the other hand, being her prison and her attachment to the Gentleman's world.
