Theater: Absències

Absències are Father and Camí de silenci, two dance pieces that can be seen consecutively, where the common thread is the passage of time, the loss of a loved one, the figure of the father and the desire to live.

Father, the first piece, has a lot to do with the premature death of the choreographer’s father, leaving a generation gap that is impossible to fill. The piece is based on an investigation of textual and choreographic materials that have the father as a reference, but also the figure of the son and that of the grandfather; in short, in search of the transcendence of generational roles, whether they are constructed from absences or presences. Camí de silenci, the second piece, was created in 1995, a few years after the death of his father, and is presented as it was originally.
