The sea is neither man nor woman, neither masculine nor feminine.
The sea is a soul unfolding without borders.
From the waves arise giants, from the fish sirens, from uncertain transparencies monsters and visions.
Accompanied by spoken and sung texts, two acrobats/dancers move on a self-supporting sculpture, evoking the physicality and extreme conditions of sailing on a sailboat. Their bodies tell us an upside-down shipwreck story. From the image of a boat at the bottom of the ocean to the moment of departure with all the joys and excitement of the journey.
A show where dance and circus merge, visual and sound landscapes.
