BLUE

“BLUE” is an aerial acrobatics project grounded in a reflection on affection and friction, intimate and public, individual and collective.

Throughout this contemplative and intimate performance, a series of ephemeral, fragile, and brief landscapes unfold, each serving as a test of durability, tension, resistance and resilience for the four bodies on stage.

BLUE is an intimate and immersive performance that invites the audience into the scenic device. Throughout the performance, an ethereal atmosphere is created, invoking ideas of feminine strength and resistance.

BLUE is an aerial acrobatics project that aims to visually play with the perception of height and fall, balance and counterweight, subtlety and strength, through the creation of ephemeral landscapes. At the same time, the project contrasts one of the oldest and most traditional circus techniques, the vertical rope, with a more experimental or contemporary aesthetic and approach.

The performance begins with a body suspended on a vertical rope, supported by three other bodies, in counterbalance. These three bodies, responsible not only for the rigging of the performer in suspension but also for all the actions on the ground, creating a dynamic interplay of order, rhythm, and space. Thus, the piece works with two distinct actions/performances simultaneously: the first – a suspended body, moving lightly, slowly, subtly, and almost imperceptibly; the second is a collective body, working together with resistance, rawness, and speed.

In this way, the project challenges the concept of the collective by distorting the notion of the solo, stretching it beyond its usual boundaries.

The project is designed to be presented in theaters, unconventional spaces, and public spaces.
