In ‘A BEGINNING’, five dancers and singers take to the stage in darkness. Sparingly illuminated with hand-held lights, their songs flood the space
For the artists Aurora Bauzà and Pere Jou, light becomes an object that reveals more about voices than bodies. Meanwhile the darkness encourages the public to use their imagination and to notice what is felt but not seen.
In this piece Bauzà and Jou have developed a practice of physicality and movement that displays two movements in a single body: the movement in the singing that is audible and the movements that are visible.
At the same time, the darkness alters our sense of space and time. The boundaries between the bodies of the performers and those of the public become blurred: the piece turns into a journey and theatrical story about the eternal dialectic between the individual and the collective, between movement and voice, darkness and light.
