Synopsis
‘Bammm’ is a piece choreographed for five dancers, inspired by the Big Bang theory. Through the performers’ bodies it addresses questions such as the origin and expansion of the universe, creating a sensitive, hypnotic atmosphere for the audience.
The universe has the peculiarity of being infinite and, at the same time, a mystery. The piece delves into these concepts to absorb them and translate them into the language of dance and the stage. Bodies made of stardust that celebrate the magnitude of the universe, its shapes, its colours and, above all, its transformation.
