Las carnes de Ursula

Las carnes de Ursula

Performance of physical theatre with a musician.

The performance  “Las Carnes de Ursula“ is a life story of three women: Ursula, the mother of everyone, who seems she will never die; Rebecca, a girl with visceral impulses and Remedios the Beautiful, who is a symbol of liberty and unbound.


Portraits of these women are inspired by the novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It is a fascinating book, especially for its density of characters and their connection with surrounded elements and with the land they live in. Each character has evolved in this world neither in negative nor in positive way, but simply entire.

In this project, the research of characters is done through the textures, using more physical rather than psychical sensations. The idea is to work with the presence, created with dense and tough matters. The reality is completed with metaphorical images, forming the absurd universe with its own logic.

Atmosphere of the performance is accompanied by a musician, who uses water as an instrument.
