Synopsis:
We all draw our own line of existence. Human encounters often balance on the little things in life - a glimpse, a sound, a gesture.
Three artists who have no long-term relationship or even a common language meet for to learn how to tame one another, to share their interests, oppose their ideas and find a means of communication through time, body and object.
¡Obektido! explores the limitations of a world increasingly saturated by material objects, the impacts of the everyday home and work routines on our emotions and relationships.
Balloons, a universal symbol of the game, allow the bodies to synchronize in time. An iron cube serves as a crossing of the meetings, a place where our beings clash. Through physical concepts such as fixed point, domino effect, support, rebound and suspension, time is investigated both within the body and within the object. The trajectories of the balls represent events of exploration, ambition, madness, frustration - learning in humans. Poetic acts brings us to a night dream that changes or perception of the material world and triggers a new perspective of dealing with matter in everyday life and thus with human relationships.
