Synopsis: | Hilo (Thread) is a physical theatre project that uses movement, poetry, visual art and sound to express subjects of evolution, adjustment, modification, and adaptation to change for the sake of survival. Having lost his eyesight many years ago, writer and actor Jose Manuel Dominguez juxtaposes his own memories with mythological characters, and incites the audience to contemplate their own limitations and possibilities of transformation. Directed by Lucia Aratanha, "Hilo" develops in a non-traditional format. Aratanha conceptualized a set with carefully woven ropes, constructing imaginary chambers and passageways like the Labyrinth in the Greek mythology. It through this maze of ropes that the scenes move from dream to reality with no apparent chronology as a metaphor to our own mind where memories and dreams mingle. "Hilo" puts into play the realm of myths known and unknown, a world of fatal choices and unexpected mystery. | |||||
