BROTAR / BLOOMING
MONTSE PIÑEIRO, RUBÉN ABAD - 2019 / SPAIN
Blooming is a tribute to handmade work, done with the hands and the heart. Through its protagonist, Mirta, we wander through theatrical stages that are constructed using analogical techniques, getting original and simple finishes. Montse Piñeiro takes her grandmothers as reference, examples of strength and wisdom of experience, to reveal a magical universe that transports us to our childhood. The original music of Rubén Abad dances with the images and takes us to the beginning of the 20th century, through impressionistic nuances that intermingle with the lights and colors that accompany the whole piece.

It is a social denouncement of animal abuse and a cry for freedom.

LANDING
FILIPE MARTINS - 2016 / PORTUGAL
Metaphorical characters are twisted together within a story told through gestures, bodies and places. Life, from beginning to end, as a path that is always interrupted by the same conflict: the incomplete landing. This landing won’t be anything but the arrival to a state of things, a permanent immobility. It is the eternal conflict between the rapture of the passions and the hidden desire for serenity and balance, as well as for conformism and death.
