SOMNAMBULE
Sleep as a zone of resistance
Somnambule is a piece that appropriates the apparent passivity and inertia associated with sleep in order to create, if only momentarily, a deviation from everyday life. Falling asleep is a way of resisting, of creating cracks in what is stable, of paying attention to our right to the body. A reversal of perspective that invites us to question the logic of existence, which is shaped by the pressure of the constant demand for productivity.
In this piece, sleepwalking is a driving force that allows us to experience a body between two states (or even two worlds): that of sleep and that of wakefulness. A precarious state of equilibrium that gives rise to a reflection on what we consider normal, possible and desirable for a body.
Somnambule evolves on stage in direct articulation with the context in which it is performed. A creation based on the singular relationship between body and architecture, set and costume, performer and audience.
