SEMILLA DESPIERTA – THEATRE, DANCE AND RAW FOOD
How to integrate the artistic language of vitalizing nutrition in the space of the scenic creation? How to regenerate the value of cooking as daily ceremony and as a way of activism? A searching process initiated five years ago in South America brings us here, to a journey through the secrets of the seeds and their fruits, inspired by myths of diverse traditions: lifeful theatre where we’ll experience processes of reconnection with the body, senses and nature that we are within ourselves.
It arises as an experience of intimate listening, a return to the origins, based on the possibilities that these practices share of opening a resonance that might emerge by touching and extending our oniric world – and therefore our vital sense- cultivating the consciousness of a unit conformed by the feeding, the listening, creation, moving, thinking, being, being present. A skin tour through the flavors, smells, images, textures, sounds and memories of The underground history, where the creative essence of every individual could be nourished, mixed and promoted by that of the group.
