SOMA

Synopsis

Experimental work that combines different theatrical and technological languages, trying to create a "scenic system capable of sustaining itself as the germ of a spectacular event" *.
It is based on the relation of the body-object-puppet and its postmodern hybridization, constituting "the corpus of a new flesh of the scene": organic body-mechanical artificial body-digital body.

*Quotes from Ana Alvarado.
