FesTeloff 2023 Winner

The initial idea was presented to Festelon and the project won the contest in 2023 which has been a wonderful journey. “Alumbra, lumbre de alumbre” has its premiered in Festelon 2024. The product is still in research process, its dramaturgy and movement research has still long to go as at the moment there is not funding and we aim to deep into a further research for the connection between mind, body, architecture to talk about limits placed by people when differences are higher than understanding.

It is a poetical tale about humans’ relationship and how we treat each other’s when there are differences. It is a solo physical, textual, and sensory performance work where sound, music, voice, movement are in continuous communication throughout the story. It is a multirole work where puppetry has a main role. Story pretends to be a poetical tale that talks about the internal conflicts a brain deals with when two oppose elements are confronted and the choices can make. It is the embodiment of the internal constraints between showing dehumanising or humanising behaviours. We look at the choice to create a limit and its consequences such the isolation of minorities and the risk to essentializing human beings into boxes.

It is also a dialogue between what is seen or not, and what is inside and outside, audience is another character, is the witness and we aim to let audience to make their own reflections triggered by those limits and the ones that will separate them from the space to the stage.
