A book by Anna Llenas provides the inspiration for a show about resilience and the capacity to overcome adversity in which we will realize that the emptiness we sometimes feel inside us is part of us and makes us special and unique.
To find oneself feeling empty, with an implacable void inside oneself conditions human existence. We are all responsible for our own void, the size of it and how to approach the relationship that we establish with it. Confronting an unknown and infinite void may make us feel dizzy and sick, but covering it up is no easy task if we do not know what to fill it with. In El Buit (Emptiness) the dizziness we feel works in our favour, it opens up a path towards our imagination and allows us to investigate ourselves, our fears and doubts, to obtain a beauty that closes up this hole, or at least makes it smaller. It is a journey in movement based on the visual richness of the book by Anna Llenas, which uses a unique poetic language capable of revealing the ephemeral world of emotions, passions and feelings.
The director is Sergi Ots, an artist who started out working with Els Comediants, worked in the Cirque du Soleil and, aged just 24, founded his own company, Ponten Pie, with which he has created shows with a great visual power that use the most diverse techniques in search of a new language of performance.
