In DARK, an enigmatic woman named Juana leads the making of a documentary about herself and, with the help of four men, obsessively seeks to reconstruct her story. Juana possesses a captivating innocence and her words appear as divine designs. With them as her guide, Juana and her assistants will enter an unknown place, where nothing is what it seems. Not even death.
In the staging, the spectators enter a path where reality and fiction are subverted, in the battlefield of images, noticing the perverse manipulation of them exercised by power. DARK reflects on the power of naivety, idealism, love and violence. The piece mobilizes certainties, disinhabits thoughts and articulates poetics and politics, ethics and aesthetics.
The production was supported by the National Council for Culture and the Arts, through Fondart Nacional 2016.
