NIL Every step along the way brings a new puzzle to work on. We constantly face situations we have to solve. We look for pieces that fit or try to find the right steps to solve them as if they were a puzzle. However, the same problems and the same situations are repeated again and again, and sometimes we feel trapped like a labyrinth without an exit. With intelligence or intuition we manage to unravel the ball in which we feel entangled. Most often, the simplest path is the most accurate. Nil is a metaphor for each person facing themselves, a journey through different ways of dealing with a problem and how to manage frustration and restlessness without losing hope. A puppeteer and a puppet try to solve a riddle, a puzzle. A peculiar relationship where the line is diluted between who is who. A show of details where the gesture is sought as a language to convey emotions in a musical poetic journey.  Bekijk video
