HIGHLIGHTS: LES QUATRE POINTS CARDINAUX SONT TROIS : LE NORD ET LE SUD

The Théâtre Silvia Monfort presents a show with a wildly poetic title: Les Quatre Points cardinaux sont trois : Le Nord et le Sud (The Four Cardinal Points are Three: North and South).
It's a poignant, acrobatic show by the company Ni desnudo ni Bajando La Escalera. It combines poetry, acrobatics and clowning, and tenderly explores the themes of memory, identity and travel.

Bonillo, a man in his forties, returns to the family home to carry out his mother's last wishes. Spurred on by memories and objects from the past, he embarks on a journey of transformation through the twists and turns of his memory.

On stage, acrobats Andrés Labarca and Sylvain Decure deliver a breathtaking performance. Their physical virtuosity and expressions bring Bonillo's memories and emotions to life.

The set design and staging by Andrés Labarca and Lola Etieve create a dreamlike world of immense and intimate power. Everyday objects are transformed into scenic elements, while light and sound contribute to the touching atmosphere of the show.

Les Quatre Points cardinaux sont trois : Le Nord et le Sud is a show that is sure to touch anyone who has ever grappled with their identity and origins.
