National Premiere

Deep are the Woods offers a connection with nature and the universe through the physical experience of light. The movement of its rays shapes the void and inhabits it with an impalpable presence: a cathedral without walls, made of inner vibrations, inviting us to broaden our perception of the world through the immaterial. It is an immersive performance in which light is the protagonist. Rendered visible by a thin mist, it breathes, vibrates, and occupies the space. The spectator, placed at the center of the performance, moves freely within an environment that envelops and caresses them, generating a projection space that is at once physical and mental. Intangible and yet concrete, light exists in its interaction with the mist, taking on a body: the fastest, most infinite, and immortal one we know. Choreographing light means writing space and setting an immense body in motion, subjected to the same questions as any body on stage: what movement, with what intention, for what composition.
