Llops tristos of MIQUEL ANGEL RAIÓ
Dates: From 1 to 30 June 2018
SYNOPSIS:
LOBOS TRISTES takes place inside a Contemporary Art Museum. One of these completely white museums. Circumstantially, several characters cross paths: the deputy director, the director's secretary, a girl and a boy who are auditioning for a performance.
At the beginning, some of them work and the others are just passing through. But slowly almost all of them will end up living in the Museum, one of them literally and the others emotionally. White space fills in. But if it does so, it is because outside everything makes less and less sense and becomes empty. In this Museum the great retrospective Art and Cannibalism is being prepared (and will never be premiered). A boy, a wolf-boy, escapes from one of the screens and wanders through the rooms of the museum. Like an oracle he observes everything and some of the characters can relate.
The work mixes dance and performance elements, as well as live music. The text is totally violated and ridiculed by the actions. The words gradually lose strength and the gesture wins.
Collaborators: Conchi Almeda, Joan Miquel Artigues, Ann Perelló, Toni Gelabert and Teo Rayón as actors. Nora Sitges-Sardà / Claudi Bombardó (choreographers), Xesca Salvà (set designer), Jaume Manresa / Francisco Sitges-Sardà (musicians), Maria Rosselló (assistant director).
