REENCUENTRO - Butoh & Flamenco 
5/3 EUROS - ON THE DOOR
(open from 19h) |
SYNOPSIS
An open performative proposal on the transversal memory of existence that seeks the links between the Flemish 'quejio', the pain of the Second World War in Japan and the current existential void. All through the Body Weather microcosm inspired by images of Min Tanaka, the Civil War and the post-Andalusian war, traveling between performative codes and ghosts that inhabit space. This piece is part of a project by MIAU Physicaltheatre, a company formed by Manuel Montes and Txema Egea. |

Nit BUTOH a l'ORACLES "Writhing Treasure Feast" 
12/10 EUROS - ON THE DOOR
(begins at 19h) |
SYNOPSIS
This solo work explores the fierce beauty and heartbreaking pain of the Americas. Vanessa Skantze dances primarily with the gods of Mexico, North America, and Haiti. The Western Hemisphere is experiencing (perhaps) the latest vicious convulsions from the European assault on the Americas and the enslavement of Africans. 'Writhing Treasure Feast' is based on the artist's travels to Mexico and Haiti, and her experience in a Vodou Sosyete (community) in New Orleans. Her initiation on this path has profoundly impacted her creative life as a Butoh dancer. There are 7 sections: stone, sea, wind, fire, snake, mud and river. Each section lasts about 15-18 minutes with a different sound composition. The music has been commissioned from ten of Seattle's deepest and most unique sound artists. VANESSA SKANTZE Butoh artist and yoga and dance teacher. She has performed in the United States and Europe for more than 20 years. Co-founder of the New Orleans sound / movement group Death Posture in 2002. She collaborates with a multitude of musicians, including Jarboe and percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani. Skantze has trained with Jinen Butoh founder Atsushi Takenouchi since 2003, and performed with him in the United States and Europe. Since arriving in Seattle in 2004, she has created numerous ensemble works under the name of Danse Perdue, as well as solo pieces. Since 2016, she has been a movement director and performer for productions at Freehold Engaged Theater, including Henry V and A Winter’s Tale, who toured correctional facilities in the Seattle area. She is a co-founder of the Teatro de la Psychomachia, a performance space in Seattle that houses many local, national, and international sound and movement artists. |

12/15 EUROS - ON THE DOOR
(begins at 20h) |
SYNOPSIS
DESTAROTATS is the Magic and Mythical Cabaret of Oracles Theatre! A space where the mythical bohemian Barcelona is still alive and insurrected. And (MIRACLE!) Politically 'wrong' and happy as an earthworm! We present you a Cabaret that explores the Tarot Archetypes with their imaginal and magical universe. A Cabaret that makes human intrinsic INSANITY and its tragicomic imperfection its true strength. Do you want to laugh at the hypocritical COMMON SENSE around us? To FEEL the root of a CABARET that touches the vein and makes you CRAZY? You already know that 'REASON' (good sense) generates MONSTERS ... And that to get to God you have to be human first. VERY human. Could it not be that the pain of the soul is healed by laughing and mocking our wounds? Maybe it's true and insanity cures it! Come enjoy yourself with us and these insane beings, so full of life! Treat yourself to a night of wholesome madness and rowdy fun. It is time! And it is also a charity night in favor of the Oracles Theatre! All proceeds are donated to the space.

Tiempo de Tarot 
12/15 EUROS - ON THE DOOR
(begins at 18h) |
SYNOPSIS
From Buenos Aires comes this stage-tarological offering that combines live Tarot readings with theatre, dance and poetry. A show in which everything happens at a collective level, even the individual. The rhythm is set by the cards, their energy, their physicality. Each and every one present is part of a unique whole, which seeks to manifest itself in different languages. The Fool breathes energy into the Magician, who will open the mandala of the 22 major arcana of the Tarot, to delight the public, who will be part of his great act, giving us messages, hints and warnings. And so we will pass the hours, with the souls making us witnesses to the dance of the arcana, who - anxious - seek to redeem themselves in the exact phrase that calms their minds and heals their spirits. ARTISTIC FOLIO Interpreter: Víctor Leni Cordero (tarologist, performer) Dance and integral art: Pablo Hernán General assistant: Jair Bellante Co-direction: Natalia Maniago |
