Freely inspired by Federico Garcia Lorca’s The House of Bernada Alba, Silencio is a visual poem woven from aerial dance, puppetry and music. The show evokes the closed world of Alba’s house, the cloistered daughters’ fantasies of love, Bernada’s tyranny, the call of desire and the weight of religion.
Shadow-play follows aerial choreography against a background of haunting, incantatory rhythms…life-size puppets and actors blend, becoming different characters, creating a subtle and dream-like universe, a tribute to Lorca’s poetry.
