Nighttime thoughts, suppressed memories and hidden secrets drive the action of this performance. Framed by a bizarre radio show, the scenario soon takes on a nightmarish quality. Reality borders on illusion. With energy and physicality, the dancers outshine themselves as they become increasingly enmeshed in a fable on death, loss and the longing for salvation. Musically accompanied by the live guitarist and singer Niko Hafkenscheid with a laser harp, the piece condenses into a ghostly atmosphere.
Julio César Iglesias Ungo studied contemporary dance at the Escuela Nacional de Artes La Habana and was a member of the Cuban national dance company. His dynamic style characterizes his works, which are marked by a high level of physique and an experimental dance theatre aesthetic.
