With this work, we want to recover those stories and mythical beings that have woven our collective identity, in order to make them dialogue with present-day characters and explore their perspectives and pasts.
The play invites us to follow Lali’s journey, a young woman who arrives in a village nestled in the forest, carrying a trauma from the past and searching for answers. Upon encountering the fantastical creatures, she will have to face difference, overcome prejudice, and put an end to an ancestral war between the two species. Her journey breaks the cycle of generational trauma, which fuels hatred toward the unknown, in a story that also carries an anti-colonialist undertone. At the same time, she will have to accept the transformation of her surroundings and confront grief, learning to let go of what once was.
The play unfolds in an atmosphere that combines the grotesque and the mystical, and is built primarily through the theatrical art of the mask. Each fantastical creature is defined by the mask and costume that identify it, which become tools to achieve maximum bodily expression.
The physical scenography is combined with projections to build an almost ritual-like atmosphere. We work with video projections on sheets and scenic surfaces to expand the visual boundaries of the space. Sound, inspired by natural elements, is another key component that allows the audience to become fully immersed in the story.
