"A cegues” show

Espai Llac

A cegues [Blindly]

Elelei Dance Theatre Company

Barcelona

Theatre / Contemporary dance

For all audiences

Comedy, dance, theatricality and impossible acrobatics. These are the elements that the Elelei Dance Theatre Company combine in a show that uses movement in telling a very familiar story: guessing who the person is covering our eyes from behind. It’s happened to us all, and we quickly enter the game, without hesitation; but what if it were really about something else, besides finding out who’s covering our eyes?

This apparently innocent game is the inspiration behind A cegues [Blindly], an internationally acclaimed performance that premiered in 2021. Its creators and performers, Sabrina Gargano and Rafa Jagat, founded Elelei four years ago with the idea of bringing together their careers in dance and theatre and creating a new interdisciplinary language from that union. Their aim is to make their stories accessible to their audiences and get the latter to share the questions that are so frequently raised, such as the reason for things.

A cegues attracts through the performing pair's vitality and the magnetism of their movements. A street duo that will surely infect us with their energy and eagerness to play.

Duration: 19 minutes.
