An area where the land is close to or below sea level is called the lowlands. Lowlands also refers to Freud's theory, which likens the mind to an iceberg—it floats with one-seventh of its volume above water, the only visible part.
When we think of sound, the first image is that of invisible waves traveling through the air, captured by our ears and interpreted by our brains. But beyond its auditory dimension, sound has weight, movement and strength. Sound has a story in itself and the body incessantly searches for a story.
Memories and dreams resonate in the box of time, where the past and the future do not always succeed each other in that order. By water, by fire, by hands. The body, mutable matter, from the languid seduction to the catastrophe of the shard. Everything in black and red. As in roulette, bodies come into play.
TIMBER is a journey into the depths of our existence, a visit to every corner that we failed to visit due to fear, ignorance or abandonment of ourselves. A personal disconnection from what unites us to our unique and authentic nature.
The way in which the Self and the Other is perceived is conditioned by a complex historical-cultural lens, which influences and shapes individual identities and social roles that are expected and performed. In this play, two people confront each other, staging tensions and ambiguities of contemporary relationships.
Depois de Timber, esta é a segunda colaboração de Roberto Olivan com a Instável. Para a nova criação procuramos quatro intérpretes - dois deste lado da península, dois do lado de lá. Sem restrição de idade ou género, serão valorizadas a versatilidade e excelência técnica e artística dos candidatos.
