This intimate and highly poetic performance uses puppets, masks, video, circus, lighting and interactivity to open a discussion about pain and suffering and how it can be alleviated through fragmentation. The circus serves as a tool to help to blur the limits of everyday bodily movement, along with an investigation into the use of puppets and masks to explore the deformation and disintegration of the corporeal.
La Víspera is a company formed by Vinka Delgado and Diego Hernando. Delgado has trained in Fine Arts and also in circus and theatre as a need to expose the body and use movement; this has allowed her to combine both studies to construct puppets, masks, costumes and scenery, as well as acting. Diego Hernando, a qualified teacher and sound, video and lighting technician, uses his training as a tool to enhance stage language.

Lontano
In Lontano, acrobat Marica Marinoni, with her Cyr wheel, confronts and questions the limits of her own body, seeking to go beyond herself. What is the role of our body in today’s society? Why do we choose to involve our body in a performative action? Through a dialogue between flesh and metal, Marica develops a hypnotic and sensitive language around the theme of resistance. With tenacity and boundless energy, she takes risks, rolls, dodges and resists. Blow after blow, fall after fall, Lontano finally transforms into a dizzying and unstoppable dance.
Cie 7bis, based in Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, was founded by Juan Ignacio Tula in 2019 to continue his research on the Cyr wheel and promote circus performance. Italy’s Marica Marinoni is a specialist in the Cyr wheel, trained at the FLIC Scuola di Circo in Turin.
