THE TOWER MOMENT IS NOW
Alicia Agustín & houaïda
This performance places us mid free fall, our stomachs turning as we face, for just a few seconds, the shaky foundation on which we've built our identities. It examines our so called freedom and other catastrophes. An interactive musical, it tells the story of The Tower struck by lightning, because it had to be. Because it was never meant to stand in the first place. It is a ritual of release, a letting go of all that has made us feel so embarrassingly safe. It is a voicing of the unfortunate souls. A fairy tale where the mirror world exhibits its ugly grimace and we recognise our very own reflection in it. It is the performance of a hole*y spell, part wound, part magic, demanding collective mourning whilst offering glimpses of courage. If the world was ending you'd come over, right?
