The wishing well
Contemporary dance (2013)
The Wishing Well is a space inhabited with dreams. For the person who enters it, it can be full of possibilities or full of rejection. In it, one can devise a thousand strategies to be heard, but in the end, one can only hope.
The sound composition is a continuation of ideas and techniques from our previous work, Begin to Begin: a piece about dead ends. We were inspired by how in storytelling different voices coexist to present different angles of that world to the reader. In a similar manner, we started playing with voice-over. This single female voice takes on all the possible roles existing in this magic tale to narrate, describe, experience, recall and live her story.
