An invitation to explore the limits of our existence.
A middle-aged man and woman talk about their lives, feelings, memories, dreams, fears, the world they live in and anguish of death looming around the corner.
Pablo Viar’s new theatre piece starts with life alteration due to the isolation, introspection, fear, uncertainty and pain involved as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic.
Based on this traumatic experience with profound effects, the director and playwright proposes a reflection on the various purposes or limits affecting our existence as humans in the world likewise the nature of our corporal, linguistic, communicational and spatial limits, including our capacity and desire to go beyond them. Confines is a poetic work based on the actors’ physical and voice work, an adaptable staging and an evocative lighting and sound design inviting us to explore the limits of our existence.
