Vacío/Void

Vacío/Void explores flamenco’s fundamental connection to nature and the natural landscape. The title refers to the spaces in-between an individual and everything else–be it other beings or the natural world. Using moving set pieces, the performers create an ever-changing landscape that questions how a fragment can represent the whole, and how all the pieces of an ecosystem entangle and come together.  Using improvised movement scores, flamenco, and new music compositions by  Lauren Valerie Coons the work uses Rachel Carson’s writings as a point of departure.
