La Víspera: Fragments
After a week long circusnext residency at Pogon Jedinstvo, the Spanish circus group presents a work in progress that explores the body in constant change.
From April 1 to April 7, the Spanish circus group La Vispera will be in residence at the Big Hall of Pogon Jedinstvo as part of the circusnext platform. Vinka Delgado, Diego Hernando and Guille Leoni will work on finalizing the performance material for the work "Fragments" and will present it to the Zagreb audience on April 7.
How do we relate to our own bodies? How can we understand, accept, and transform them? "Fragments" explores the body through humor, poetry and visual magic, which is constantly changing, falling apart and reassembling. A Chinese pillar becomes the central axis, while masks, puppetry, light and video become tools for exploring identity and inner conflicts.
The body is suddenly transformed, faces multiply and disappear, personalities merge and separate. A world between reality and dream is created on stage, where pain is broken into pieces - and it is in these fragments that it finds its relief.
Immerse yourself in this unique psychological thriller and experience a story about constant change, the limits of body and mind, and the inevitable dance relationship between who we are and what the world expects of us.
La Víspera is an artistic personality born from the loss of innocence. It is an encounter, a homecoming, a way of creating and living the circus.
Vinka Delgado, who began her education in fine arts, constantly questioned the static nature of this discipline. Realizing the need to use the body as a dynamic tool guided by movement, she continued to improve in circus and theater. Her journey reached a crucial point when her past in visual arts and her present in performing arts came together. Integrating knowledge from both fields, she dedicated herself to creating puppets, masks, costumes and scenography.
Diego Hernando has had a penchant for opening things since childhood to discover what is hidden inside. After studying pedagogy and sound engineering, he became a video and lighting technician. His curiosity led him to the world of circus and theater, which became an important part of his education. He sees technology as a tool to expand the scenic language through lighting design, video and interactivity.
