How can the eyes touch? How can the ears see? How can the skin listen? Guided by these questions, associated with relational perception ecosystems, in Las Lámparas, Leticia Skrycky seeks to provide a place for a peripheral and vibrant gaze. It is an invitation to a state of awareness that is open to welcome both the visible and the invisible.
In the scenic space of the theatre, one presents an electric choreography, where sound moves light, and light, in turn, sounds, warming the entire surrounding environment. Lights as electric bonfires, looking to trigger a primordial state of observation like the one we experience when we contemplate fire.
Las Lámparas invites us in, as a container place that allows itself to be gradually opened from the inside out, revealing itself as a space to stay and at the same time to let those visiting it… go.
