It all begins in a rigid landscape, built from cubes and right angles. It is an ordered, motionless space, like a still life inside a painting.
Tap. Shh.
Something moves, something falls. From that moment on, everything changes.
And comes to life.
Two robotic figures appear.
They dismantle, arrange and rebuild.
They change, and so does their environment, which becomes more twisted, unstable and precarious. Fragile.
Angles shift.
Little by little, signs of humanity begin to emerge, both within and around them: faces, hair, breath; colours, a flower, an animal.
The landscape mutates and takes shape; they mutate and breathe—opening a door to novelty, surprise and difference.
Al Cubo is a visual and geometric object theatre and contemporary circus piece, created for all audiences from 3 years old.
