The theory of free fall is the perfect excuse to sneak into the relational universe of the two protagonists.
A range of physical and emotional loops guided by their own obvious shortcomings that lead them to express love in the most inevitably clumsy and sincere way.
The helplessness of not knowing how to sustain the relationship translates into acrobatic words that contradict each other with affection and aggression. Where bodies communicate through falls within the fine line between the everyday and the absurd.
Would a parachute save them from free fall? Or would it just make it longer?
The Company
Lola and Amal met in 2020 in advanced training at the Rogelio Rivel Circus School in Barcelona. After several months of exploring, they realized they shared a similar creative universe and decided to start working together. Thus, in January 2021, they built their first prototype where they used
acrodance, absurdity and physical theatre as a stage code.
