The Intimacy of Insomni

A creative residency of the new show "Insomni" by the theatre of objects company Playground at Mas Espolla, L'Animal a l'Esquena. With Xavier Bobes (interpretation and direction) and Pablo Rego (sound & music)

Insomni is a show that delves into the poetic expressiveness of everyday objects, creating a visual dramatisation of the manipulation of objects in an open setting. The chosen objects are skeletal, all that remains is their outline, their silhouette. These objects become the indicative memories of those that have manipulated them. Sharing the stage with these objects is a character in a state of wakeful alertness. Together they form a landscape of the human condition, a poetic testimony to its evolution, and of our day to day journey.

The intimacy of insomni is the title of creative residency that will be held at Mas Espolla in l'Animal a L'Esquena. The principle of this residency is to explore the creation of tiny landscapes with discarded objects. We will take advantage of the space and create a new visual interpretation of the manipulated objects. This artistic proposal is born from a desire to perform in intimate and non conventional spaces. Incorporating spaces that are not normally available to the public and from these create a unique theatrical environment.

Also collaborating in the creation of Insomni are Pep Aymerich, (scenography), Marc Planamugà (video), Eric of Sarria (creative advisor) and Julià Carboneras (technical advisor).
