About the show

Tinieblas is a collection of stories about people who become lost.

A polyphonic narrative that recreates real events, or perhaps situations that have only ever existed in the collective imagination: legends, tales, rumours… We live on a continent that has been entirely mapped. Forest paths are signposted, and routes carefully described in guidebooks.  Connected to thousands of satellites orbiting the planet, we search for our way without looking at the world around us.

Where and how can we become lost today? In the theatre?

Tinieblas is a performance in which the audience becomes lost, found, and lost again. The theatre becomes the centre of a territory, a place with its own geographic coordinates. At the same time, the spectators form a single body in motion, like a murmuration of starlings.

It is a sensory experience that constantly holds the tension between inside and outside, between the slow pace of a walking human and the vertiginous speed of the imagination, capable of teleporting us in an instant.

Biography

Edurne Rubio

Edurne Rubio

(Burgos, 1974) A visual artist working across a wide range of media and formats, Edurne Rubio presents her work in diverse contexts: theatres, film festivals, exhibitions and public spaces.  She creates situations that generate tension between what we see and what we hear, moving between the present, memory and imagination. With a strong interest in oral storytelling, she constructs collective narratives from individual stories, offering a subjective reading of history, one shaped by emotion and constantly in flux.
