BACK
SIENTE
with Alberto Monreal
2024

After exploring the limits of relationships in Shoot us! and Thirst, we conclude the Imperativos trilogy with the piece Siente. 

We join our limbs together with ropes. Lučka carries a bowl of water on her head.Alberto carries a bowl of turmeric on his head. We want to unite our resources so that we can feed together. We plan to let compassion drive our actions, whether we succeed or not.We are very afraid, but compassion remains. The strings are not tight: they do not harm us, rather they create dependency and demand care. We have so much expectation of not getting the resources mixed together, that when we finally succeed we find it hard to admit it: we want the chaos, the spectacle. As we drink, Lučka almost vomits. Alberto considers eating more, but doesn't want to because then Lučka has to eat too, and will end up hurting. 

Compassion is transcended: our desires dissolve in each other and trust makes it possible to share through constant listening and adapting. We conclude the trilogy by enjoying ourselves and allowing ourselves to play.
