Loo

In India and Pakistan they are perfectly familiar with a type of wind that blows through the valleys of the Indus and the Ganges, an air current that connects the Himalayas and the Indian Ocean in both directions. The wind is particularly strong in May and June and, due to high temperatures and low humidity levels, causes dangerous heat waves, and dehydrating and drying vegetation in the area. This show takes the wind, Loo, as its main character, and shows how Loo drives dunes forward and transforms the desert landscape, making huge areas of forest completely dry and even leaving a ship stranded in a sea of sand, never to sail the oceans blue again. A single performer presents a show that teaches children about a natural phenomenon through the language of poetry and enables these young spectators to see the props used close-up, stimulating their emotions and imaginations. Loo is a show by a company founded by Sergi Ots in 2009 whose earlier creations, such as Ârtica, already began to focus on transferring art to the stage and inviting spectators to become personally involved in the story.
