Sinopse

In an enchanting adventure, each spectator plunges into another, idyllic, mysterious world. A virtual reality experience in which the spectator explores two separate environments as he wanders around the space. One is confounded and guided by the sounds. One gets used to the mask. A drive translates into voice. Voices. The avatar of a new BITCHO: a hybrid being undergoing constant change that will inhabit the space, leading us on a journey. A breath. Some tension. New paths awaken. Light and beat embody the text. Openness to other universes. All is drained out in undefined energy. Constant fluctuations. Intoxication. Feelings of shock and… one starts over. — Susana Chiocca

This performance requires the use of virtual reality goggles and will be experienced in groups of 4 by moving around the space, entering every 10 minutes.
