About the event

This World is a creation centered on gesture, breath, and quality of presence. Movements are built from simple figures, inspired by the elements — air, light, heat, weight, stability — and develop a succession of situations rather than a linear narrative. Sound and light accompany the bodies without illustrating them, leaving the spectator a space for observation and listening. Each performer brings their singularity and their unique way of inhabiting movement. Certain bodily differences enrich the dialogue between bodies and transform each gesture into living language and poetry. Bárbara explores lightness, Sofia verticality, Sara warmth and energy, Telmo weight and stability, Joana suspension and balance. The dramaturgy is built from these states, in constant attention to what circulates between bodies, breath, and light. My own path is inscribed in this process: availability for play, listening, and presence in the moment. This World is a crossing, from shadow to a fragile clarity, from tumult to an inhabited silence. Slowness becomes strength, softness becomes courage, and each singularity becomes light. The spectator is invited to observe, feel, and inhabit time with us. Each gesture, each breath, each silence counts as much as the movement itself. It is a space of poetry and play, where shared experience overrides performance, where the diversity of bodies becomes strength and beauty. This World is not just a show: it is a living, inhabited place, where poetry is born from attention to the other, to oneself, and to the world. — Bouchra Ouizguen. Performance with Audio Description at all sessions.
