SINOPSIS / CONCEPT
SOLUM is a non-verbal multimedia street theatre performance represented in one big scenic structure resembling a tree. It blends physical and visual Theatre with circus/ aerial acrobatics, video, and original music.
SOLUM focuses essentially on human nature; it depicts the transformation of our cultural and emotional roots facing an idea of progress and globalization. From the natural to the artificial, from the real body to the digital body, from sharing to isolation, from the essential root to our present’s fruit, SOLUM reveals to be an allegory to the tree of life, a metaphor of universal consciousness, the strong creator of all existence.
