Winner of the Talía Award 2024 for best female performer.
A passage where to embrace mutations and the process of change. An intermediate place in search of a new version of oneself.
This piece is a manifesto about what is built from darkness, from doubt, in the crack that does not show but suggests.
A work that rests in the place of transit.
In search of the beauty that emerges from the acceptance of the imperfect, of asymmetry, of the irregular, and of the noise and traffic that is deposited in a loose, vulnerable and unstructured body.

To do this, they invite artists from different scenic disciplines to create and direct them. The company made its debut in June 2018 with two short pieces in the Hiroshima Room.
