Cuirassa Oberta
Cia Marilén Ribot
Mallorca
Cuirassa oberta is the first proposal of the company Marilén Ribot. It is a show of her own creation, born from the personal need to deal with intimate but universal themes, always from the point of view of beauty, using a physical language that harmonizes circus techniques and dramatic writing.
Cuirassa oberta amalgamates body, word, movement, sound space and performance. The visual and textual dramaturgies coexist with circus disciplines such as: balancing on glass bottles, Cyr wheel, aerial prism and knife throwing.
When a piece of ceramic is broken, it is repaired with resin and gold dust, thus turning it into a unique object, endowed with a new aesthetic and a new value.
This show wants to be like the Kintsukoroi masters who encourage us to embrace our sufferings and mistakes in order to accept and beautify them.
