Casa-Miento

A theatre comedy in which a single actress brings several characters to life with objects, words, gesture and dance, while a woman prepares for her wedding and the audience takes part in the final ceremony.

Casa-Miento is presented as a polyphonic monologue with a theatrical character, in which a single actress brings multiple characters to life. To do so, it blends techniques from object theatre, spoken word, gesture, dance and performance. A sewing box, a pair of shoes or a jacket can become a mother, a father or a fiancé.

As she prepares to walk down the aisle, the protagonist relives memories and ghosts of the past and confronts her doubts about the future. Relatives, friends and figures, living or dead, converse with her through objects. The piece questions the meaning of celebrating a union today, takes stock of life and blends reality and fiction, sanity and delirium, in a story that combines humour and depth.

The denouement is a ceremony in which the audience actively takes part in the bride's wedding. It is a comedy with audience participation, closing the show with a shared celebration.
