A tribute to memory and human dignity through circus and dance.

Coming soon

Synopsis

K.OS is born from a deep need to remember through the body. Bringing together avant-garde circus, dance and an original score, the piece draws on the symbolic universe of Picasso's Guernica and the bombing of Gernika to reflect on violence, exile, loss and human resistance. On stage it builds a moving visual and emotional experience that links the historical wounds of the past with the conflicts of the present.

Throughout the show, a multidisciplinary cast brings to life the essential symbols of the universal canvas: the dove, the bull, the horse, the soldier, the mother holding her child, and the women of the lamp, the lament and the kneeling figure. The story opens with a young woman who finds a box of letters that were never sent. Each letter reveals a story of loss, flight, war and dignity, within a carefully crafted aesthetic immersed in the plastic richness of black, white and endless shades of grey.
