Buenos Aires / Argentina: Alguien próximo
ShowsBeckett TeatroAlguien próximo is a sort of experiment on the relationship between the closeness and that which doesn´t belong to us, as an unavoidable duality existing when two bodies meet. This play presents the body as an interrogation, as the unprecedented: that thing we still don´t know anything about. This becomes more suggestive when another body appears, thus causing an inevitable difference just by being there . The closeness of the bodies will imply receiving the “other”, entering in contact with him, getting involved by feelings, taking care and accepting each other as acts of pure responsibility, openness, and devotion.

Poznan / Polonia: Los expedientes / Teczki

Buenos Aires / Argentina: Alguien próximo
ShowsBeckett TeatroAlguien próximo is a sort of experiment on the relationship between the closeness and that which doesn´t belong to us, as an unavoidable duality existing when two bodies meet. This play presents the body as an interrogation, as the unprecedented: that thing we still don´t know anything about. This becomes more suggestive when another body appears, thus causing an inevitable difference just by being there . The closeness of the bodies will imply receiving the “other”, entering in contact with him, getting involved by feelings, taking care and accepting each other as acts of pure responsibility, openness, and devotion.
