Vica Pacheco presents ÉCLIPSIS (Performance)
she/her
Sun June 1 | de Brakke Grond
Light is fundamental to our existence. It defines our tangible world and reveals our place in the universe. Yet, light coexists with darkness, which evokes thoughts of the womb, the night, death, fear, and silence. This relationship is beautifully mirrored in the seed. It requires darkness to sprout and light to flourish.
Éclipsis is a choreographed musical score—an emotional sonic journey shaped by the bodily gestures of dancers Fernanda Soberón, Francesca Mariano, and Siet Raeymaekers, and the evocative sounds of clay instruments. The piece is a celebration of both light and darkness, inviting the audience to immerse themselves in a sonic fable that stirs personal memories and inner imagery.
ÉCLIPSIS is a co-production by STUK, Botanique & Les Halles de Schaerbeek, de Brakke Grond & FIBER
