After its applauded world premiere at the Avignon Festival, the new work by Tamara Cubas arrives to show the journeys of migrant women who travel deserts and seas pursuing the dream of a change in their lives. Work part of the 32nd edition of the Teatro a Mil International Festival.
A journey of her own, in which the artist Tamara Cubas embarks and has as her final destination a scenic piece of which she knows little because the focus is the journey itself. Sea of silence escapes the victimizing logic of an experience that we know is dramatic, to focus on the power of those female bodies that face that journey willing to deal with everything that gets in the way, activating survival strategies because the desire and need for that change drives them to this risky adventure
This work is the last piece of this project of which other pieces such as installations, objects and performances are already part.
