Human Landscapes

The show offers the public a series of unconnected human scenes to perform an exercise of contemplation that focuses on the here and now.

This production commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Alicia Soto Hojarasca company.

Synopsis

An inner journey through an exercise of contemplation, leaving aside the rational or the need to understand. The act of observing a reality attentively and carefully, focusing on the here and now, beginning an emotional journey that allows you to connect with yourself, with your self. Starlings, Soledando, Transhumando, Amando, Misericordiando and Renovando are the human paintings that transform and move on stage in relation to the movement of nature. Human paintings that show the shadow, the emptiness, identity, forgiveness, contemplation, love… and, finally, renewal.

After this exercise: What happens to the audience? Where are they going emotionally and psychologically? What is their state of mind?

DIRECTOR'S NOTES

The show arises from the contemplation and immersion in a wild, overwhelming and difficult to describe nature, of a beauty that produces pain. It is what I find after exploring and discovering Ireland after a long trip. And from there, a jump to the other side of the world, to the Patagonia of Argentina, where I discover the contemplation of a nature of great placid beauty.

To this experience is added the reading of the work Possibility of an Island by Miguel Houellebecq and as a result different reflections arise on the individual and society, and the relationship between nature and both, even on the presence of something greater or the figure of a creator.

Looking at these wonderful places, I could not help but think about the destruction by humans, not only of nature, but mainly of the values, principles and essence that have made us advance as a society. Without a doubt, both destructions are connected when we see that there is a current trend of searching for immortality by eliminating physical pain, emotions, the effects of the passage of time or the importance of connecting with others or the environment.

It is a vision that humanizes you, awakens the love of Agape and Filie, mercy, forgiveness, sought-after solitude, and, at the same time, regenerates you, renews you.
