"Snail is a house that walks
and the slug is a being that resides in itself.""
Manoel de Barros
Casa Caracol is a transdisciplinary show for kids and young people, with live music: visual, sound, and sensorial. A dive into the world of the senses through the images surrounding the snail and its shell. From these sound and visual images forged by the movements of three artists on stage, the binomial body/space is researched.
Casa Caracol unfolds in this game of imagining the life of the snail, their time, and their movement. This mollusk does not have feet, it walks on its belly; It has an elastic body, made up of thousands of teeth. It slowly passes over the world, incorporates everything to continue, and leaves a little of itself, a shiny trail. To create sparks of imagination in children and adults towards the life of the snail, the show is built to open up spaces for experimentation.
Experimenting is opening up space for the unknown and enlightenment. This back and forth, between the watching audience and the three artists on stage, unfolds in creating very dreamlike scenes, where the audience is asked to temporarily suspend. The movement of the three artists mixes acrobatics, dances, and gestural expressions, based on comicality.
Furthermore, the choreographic creation uses the scenery and elements that appear throughout the scenes to create images: the yellow canvas as a shell, the clothes pegs as clothing, and bricks as acrobatic material that lifts our own houses - we would be the snails? -, the soap bubbles, the aquarium with water. It is important to highlight that the narrative also starts from constructing these images forged in front of the audience. It is the public (children and adults), like all good experimental work, who will have to tie the knot in this thread.
