K.OS is born from the need to remember through the body. The piece takes cubism, the bombing of Gernika and the imagery of Picasso's Guernica as a starting point to reflect on violence, exile, loss and human resistance. Through contemporary circus, dance and an original score it offers a visual and emotional experience connecting the past with today's conflicts.

In K.OS a cast of performers brings the symbols of the famous painting to life: 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 show opens with a young woman finding a box of letters that were never sent. Each letter reveals a story of loss, flight, war and resistance, in a black-and-white aesthetic full of greys and nuance.
