antes de...
Between the foot and the step.
Between the air and the words.
There, curiosity meets fear.
There, doubts, hesitations, and decisions fill the void.
There, we move for the first time.
We dance,
With a burning desire and innocent boldness.
What goes on in the mind and body before a first time? A first step? A first word? What is the journey of an action before it becomes reality? And can we trace this journey—invisible to the eye yet so rich in emotion?
In*Antes de…*, the Tea Tree Company takes a leap of faith, just like children. Sara Olmo and Pierre Viatour trust each other and rely on one another! Through hand-to-hand contact and playful footwork and hand movements, they take turns leading the dance or guiding each other along the path, step by step into uncharted territory. A poetic, playful, and acrobatic movement performance for ages 2 and up

semilla
Semilla, like a plant that grows despite everything, like an idea that sprouts from who knows where!
A seed, some soil. Sparkling eyes, wriggling hands and feet.
Planting seeds and hoping they’ll grow!
Waiting and playing with time…
Letting yourself be carried away by uncertainty, by the unknown.

An ode to nature, a desire to go for walks,

Dazzling, magnificent, a must-see,
to be seen again and again!!!

An ode to the virtues of patience,
in botany as in everything,
the piece has the lightness of pollen.
In tiny grains, it deposits a comforting humus where green landscapes can be cultivated.
