Eclipsis
Vica Pacheco
Les Nuits Botanique x Les Halles de Schaerbeek
Light activates all the most fundamental things, keeping us within a tangible space and giving us knowledge of the place we occupy in the universe.
ight coexists with darkness, which reminds us of the mother’s womb, the night, the death, the fear of the unknown and the silence.
The image of the seed is an allegory of this relationship, as it needs darkness to emerge and then light to survive.
Éclipsis is a performance piece that mixes music, dance, and an interactive garden of sculptures, seeking to create through the minimalism of gestures and sounds, a celebration for contradictory elements, inviting the audience to merge into this fabulation with their mental images and memories.
