TENTETIESO / AHOTS HUTSEAN

WITH Maider Lasa
10 to 15 of December

This project explores an interdisciplinary stage creation that combines music, movement, light, and visual materials in a constant dialogue. Starting from a visual and plastic impulse, the proposal focuses on the imagery of the body and round shapes, with the figure of the tentetieso (roly-poly toy) as the central axis: a body that sways, spins, and never falls. A life-sized tentetieso will be built, and elements such as balls, round objects, and a rear projector will be incorporated to create effects of light, shadow, and non-linear movement.

The music, conceived as another character, interacts with two other bodies: the material and the luminous, establishing a dialogue on the same level. The constant sound of the metronome contrasts with the off-beat rhythms of bouncing and falling balls, generating a unique sonic experience. This investigation proposes a universe where everything is curvature, balance, and transformation, with bodies that blur, seemingly impossible shapes, and an atmosphere of lights, shadows, and vapor that invites contemplation.
