AVATÂRA AYUSO. The Protocol.

Dates: from 14 to 19 of December 

SYNOPSIS:

The Protocol is a work of contemporary dance in which three unfortunate characters find themselves in an unwanted situation: they have been chosen to be the ambassadors of the first encounter between humans and unknown visitors. Its mission is to develop a strategy (a protocol) to understand the outsider and survive this peculiar meeting. Taking this unusual environment as a starting point, choreographer Avatâra Ayuso will take us on a journey where dance and live text question our approach to each other, reflecting on issues such as our inner fears and contradictions, prejudice and empathy.

 This play has been designed as a triptych and will be in three formats: An indoor play for non-traditional theater spaces / An outdoor play / A short film.
