Nest
Nominated as best national dance show & best outdoor show at the Barcelona critic awards.
The car is one of civilisation’s most powerful symbols, a symbol of freedom and wealth, an indicator of status. Nevertheless, it can sometimes become a substitute for a home, a temporary place to spend the night. The last refuge before the street. A moving nest. What if our privacy were forced to exist in the public space?
Three characters unravel a story in the twilight zone between humour and tragedy. A dance and street theatre show that investigates the limits and freedoms of the public space.
