LIFE
A Mother and a Son Rebuild Connection in a Time of Disconnection
In a time where human connection is increasingly replaced, accelerated, and fragmented,
we return to the most intimate place it begins.
A mother and a child.

WHAT THIS PROJECT IS
For six years, this work has been developing across Argentina and Brazil, exploring how memory, trauma, and care are transmitted through the body.
Not only through words, but through:
• gesture
• silence
• attention
• and the way we relate to one another
The project does not divide the world into victims and perpetrators.
It seeks to understand the deeper systems that create repetition, disconnection, and pain.
And to transform them.

WHY NOW
On one side:
• artificial intelligence
• acceleration
• hyper-connection
On the other:
• isolation
• fragmentation
• weakening of institutions that once held and protected people
In many places, support structures for those in vulnerable situations are disappearing.
LIFE does not respond with slogans.
It responds by returning to something essential:
presence, listening, and the body as a place of intelligence.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE
• 6 years of research and development
• Residencies in Argentina and Brazil
• Over 400 pages of written material
• Development of embodied practices rooted in breath, flow, and awareness
• Ongoing collaborations with international institutions
Current partners include:
• Palacio Libertad (Buenos Aires)
• Maison de la Musique de Nanterre (Paris)
• The Coronet Theatre (London)
WHAT WE ARE BUILDING NOW
We are entering the creation phase of the work.
This includes:
• bringing the material into a full performance
• developing the stage language
• working with light, space, and presence
• opening the process to communities
This is where the work becomes real.
WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
It requires:
• time
• care
• continuity
Your support allows us to:
• dedicate the necessary time to creation
• sustain the artistic team (production, light, documentation)
• create workshops and encounters with communities
• invite people who do not usually access theatre
• document and transmit the work beyond the stage
This is not only about producing a performance.
It is about creating a space where something meaningful can take place.
