Cabeza de Elefante (Elephant's Head) – Silencio Blanco
Cabeza de Elefante (Elephant's Head) – A lovely non-verbal performance from Chile for adults and young people aged 14 and over.
In collaboration with GoFigure!
Oslo premiere!
A man begins to forget. Memories fragment, images lose their order, time slips away. Cabeza de Elefante has a visual poetry that explores memory as a fragile and changing matter.
Inspired by a true story and the elephant's infinite memory, the performance delves into the intimate experience of an illness that slowly erases the traces of the life that has been lived. Through puppetry and a beautiful visual language, Silencio Blanco moves from collective to individual memory, opening up questions of identity, loss and what, even in oblivion, continues to insist on remaining.
