Concept and performance: Aitana Cordero.Dramaturgy: Felix Ritter.Video, sound editing and emotional support: Tashi Iwaoka.Other advisers and “supporters”: Johan Reyniers, Jeroen Fabius, Eliza Steinbock and Ingrid Greijn.Production: Nina Fadija and Theresia Knevel.A body alone on stage is looking for strategies that will motivate his actions. A body alone on stage is missing other bodies to interact with. Why do I move if I don’t have anything to touch? A body alone on stage is trying to fill an empty space and an empty time.It is looking for an inner and subjective logic versus any universal truth and belief. It is looking for a “Dramaturgy of the irreversible”.
Destroying beauty as a constructive technique, erasing nostalgia as a defense mechanism. How would you finish an end?
Departing from the disorder, claiming the confusion, collecting as a method… Solo…? is a collaboration between fears, desires, inabilities, possibilities, doubts and curiosity… Trying to expand and question the hierarchies of perception and understanding, trying to play with the expectations and promises of a theatrical event.
