A poetic and fresh performance. It is the ice, in the various states it adopts, the protagonist of a show by a contemporary circus artist and a cyborg performer.
You may have heard of Moon Ribas, an avant-garde artist from Mataró who one day decided to apply cybernetics to art and her own body.
Ribas has found common ground with Quim Girón, one of the great creators of contemporary circus on the Catalan scene, who usually works with elements ranging from balance and sound to animal movement, always in search of new languages.
They both present us with a joint scenic proposal in which they explore the uncontrollable force of nature and wonder how scientific processes take place that are no less surprising in everyday life.
Where is the ice? This water that now soaks the stage and the artists shows its ephemeral character.
You’ll think about it as you listen to the electronic music that accompanies the evolutions of the performers and the rich diversity of sounds they generate when interacting with ice, water, or gas, diverse physical states of the same reality.
