"The great merit of these creators is that they have constantly set out to have a renewing practice on stage, empowering the idea of inhabiting the moving body, and not focusing on the movement through a language or technique."

Oasis
By Plataforma Mono featuring Carolina Bravo
- Chile
- 50 minutes
- Todo público
A play that explores how vulnerable we feel while what has been our world until now seems to fall apart.
Oasis is a dance piece that throws 11 people into an abstraction of war, into a biography of chaos. Their bodies weave into the becoming of human stories: unlived memories of Hiroshima, Vietnam, Wallmapu and Santiago de Chile. The herd of bodies evokes collapse, uncertainty and violence. In the face of the vulnerability caused by chaos, they manage to build an oasis for themselves, where all the tiredness and pain is healed and cleansed, where the herd meets, leans on one another, desires and dreams. The play explores how vulnerable we feel while what has been our world seems to fall apart.
"The great merit of these creators is that they have constantly set out to have a renewing practice on stage, empowering the idea of inhabiting the moving body, and not focusing on the movement through a language or technique."
