the i the you the seisms

​

​

     The I, the you, and the seisms is born from a transdisciplinary investigation of movement. It arises from the shared dreaming of two individuals who connect with each other through non-verbal dialogue and the support of scenic play elements. The piece results in a succession of fragmented scenes of physical theater.

The dramaturgy is shaped by the movements of two subjects reflecting each other; even beyond the personal. It relates to the different states we experience when being looked at and looking at each other; as processes of self-knowledge or recognition in the other. In this subtextual narrative, content and form coincide; in turn, these individual worlds are associated with more similar disciplines—circus/dance—that now find themselves in the same code: establishing a playful relationship between differences and proximities. 

​

    From the awareness of difference arises a fundamental concern: the commonality in the unequal, the creation of the BOND, and the processes that lie in between. Secondarily, there is an interest in what moves and is transformed due to this identity clash. We are two stage creators coming from theater, although each has specialized in two different ways of storytelling. Yiyo works with object manipulation—the external to the body—while Koset focuses on an expression where the body is the protagonist—the internal. All of this is in relation to a scenic context that seeks to materialize what is moved, where objects, bodies, and spectators engage in dialogue.
