Jury statement on "BOSQUE (Forest)" Flores TeatroDanza / Teatro Al Vacío (Mexico)

What happens when one pauses, takes a few seconds to breathe, and allows oneself to look around, to observe the objects, the space, and the people nearby? In a world full of information, speed, stimuli, and a flood of images, "BOSQUE" is an invitation to enter a different temporality, one in which simple objects encourage us to discover movement and our relationship to the people around us.

With sensitive, dynamic, and unpredictable movements, the performers transform the stage into a space of encounters, into games that remind us of the carefree roughhousing of friendship. Play and frolicking becomes an instrument of discovery and of the transformation of space and objects. It opens the door to a journey full of endless possibilities. A journey accompanied by poetic and subtle light.

With "BOSQUE" Flores TeatroDanza and Teatro al Vacío invite the audience to (re)discover a childhood in which the connections between people help shape who we are and how we relate to the world.
