PREMIERE: 24th and 25th September 2022/ Teatros del Canal
‘Terrarium [The tender indifference of the world]’ is a piece with a sandpaper texture. Rough, raw and wild, the piece explores the gregariousness and indifference we show towards the social context that surrounds us.
Six strangers find themselves in an unknown space with no entrance or exit door. They don’t know how long they have been there. They don’t know where they come from or where they are going. And above all, they have no rules or guidelines for judging the others. They are forced to live with their disorientation and bewilderment. Their only reference is a wall that rises at the bottom of the space behind which they think they sense the existence of someone or something that has abandoned them.
A microscopic look at our society, where six individuals, like gladiators thrown into the arena, weave their relationships with the otherness. Untamed and feral, alien to social composure, their main weapon is madness.
