A/way Home + Nothing happens
Carlos Aller / Cecilia Bartolino
In „A/way Home“ two essences intertwine – one veiled in opulence, the other adorned with the transient weight of existence. Through the choreography of being, strength and courage materialize in the affluent silhouette, transcending societal diversity. Simultaneously, the nomadic spirit unveils a dance of vulnerability, a silent rebellion against norms and expectations.
This evocative piece beckons viewers to immerse in the fluid interplay of acceptance, where two souls converge in an enigmatic narrative, learning from each other, challenging preconceptions and forging a unique bond. Within the shifting tapestry of existence, a symbiotic rhythm echoes on the stage, a heartbeat of compassion that defies expectations.
„Nothing Happens“ blends absurdity and irony to expose the conflicts of modern life, confronting global issues often concealed by a mask of normalcy. Inspired by Schrödinger’s Cat and Yuval Noah Harari’s Homo Deus, the piece reveals society’s unresolved paradoxes. The performers shift between fractured identities, suspended in endless, surreal loops that echo a world avoiding truth. Themes of hidden realities, shifting identities, silent wounds, and global warming reveal a culture that obscures itself. Their intensified movements capture the discord of our age, while AI voices drift through like echoes from a dream. In this hazy space between self and reflection, the work asks if we’re ready to break the silence and confront the pressing truths of our time.
