Sottobosco

20/09/2024, Cagliari

⟶ Friday 20 Settember, 9pm
Sa Manifattura, Cagliari

 

A group of disabled boys and girls get lost in the woods. Maybe they were abandoned. Perhaps they were chasing a love. Maybe the forest simply grew up around them one day.

What could happen? What will become of their bodies? What of their hearts? Of their wheelchairs and crutches? What will their eyes look at? What language will they speak? And those who find them by chance or desire, how should they approach them? Can he do it? Will he be able to ask permission?

Sottobosco builds an environment in which impromptu groups of people with disabilities can meet and become a community. Of this environment, to date, we only know the stratification: a sky above a sky above our heads, inaccessible and horizontal, in which sounds and lights will move with the same inexorable gait as the expanding universe; an undergrowth that will live under that sky and will be inhabited by the performers, the audience, other sounds and other lights that will live trembling like bodies and plants.

On the days of the performance it is possible to take part in the SOTTO IL BOTTO DEL BOSCO workshop for people with motor disabilities of different age groups.
