Project in residence
Geometría del alma
“Geometry of the SOUL” is an experimental laboratory whose purpose is the production of a unique show of its kind: fusion between body expression, contemporary dance and visual and object theater that expresses the relationship between simple geometric shapes and the human body, a body that gives soul to geometry and is composed of geometric shapes. A body that is the result of millions of years of evolution of a microcosm that starts from these same forms and that is the reflection of the macrocosm of the Universe.
“I have within me the measurements of Heaven, Earth and Hell.” Giacomo Andrea.
If the perfection of geometry is the sphere, in nature it is the soul, the life of all living beings. And all of them are tailored to the geometry. But what about life itself? How do you measure a soul?
Height, width, length, age, happiness?
For the steps taken or for those that remain to be taken?
And what is the soul of geometry? That’s easy: art.
The goal of this project is to use the soul of geometry to imagine the geometry of the soul.
