CHICHA

Memory rests in your threads, the one that tastes as shared infusion at sunset, the one that germinates in the rifts of the hands of the farmers, the one that silently keeps in the hairstyles marking the way home. To her they turn off the light, she is prefered quiet and speaking softly.

 

Today she wakes up bringing water, washing wounds, watering the earth, erasing borders. And we humanity made of clay start to disintegrate to return to the earth and reborn.

SYNOPSIS

Chicha is a physical theater and clown show performed by an actress.

 

She weaves melodies that guide us to the roots, it is fermenting memory, it is a restless calm wanting to expand the voice of absence.

NOTE FROM THE CREATORS

We focus on making a show to be shown in Latin American markets, this fact marked the pattern of language, rhythm and tone.

 

During the investigation we came across the art of the loom, which led us to the threads, and these to the time and the memory of the peoples.

 

In this way Memoria Chicha was born as a tribute to the memory of the people, to the history that does not live in the books but that nonetheless pulsates with force in the fields, the rivers, the stones, the markets, the kitchens, the trades , the stories, the songs and the dances.
