GROTTO 11-13 (Simulacrum) is an immersive and participative theater performance that proposes a liminal space for interaction, co-existence, and a dialogue around the role of our body in today`s world.
Could it be the case that we, the human species, have arrived at a point of motionlessness? a sort of frenetic paralysis that imprison our actions and discourses. A state of being in which there is no longer the possibility of reacting to individual events, but rather, only the ability to adapt from one tragedy to the next? That philosophy and art serve is one of comfort; a reflexive resolution for events that break down our life by frustrating the popular and individual struggles?
Can we really do what is convenient and desired, and at the same time be able to suffer in an appropriate way the blows to which we are subjected?
How to conquer a free and shared gesture that endows us with shrewd words and timely decisions capable of transforming the real?
GROTTO 11-13 A collective somatic ritual of entropy and healing, an encounter between philosophy and art, a provocative and playful journey along storytelling and a paradoxical illusion, a delirium; a simulacrum of sorts…
