La Niña Barro is an enchanting visual theatre piece inspired by the poetry collection of Spanish writer Marta Massé. This meditative and lyrical work follows the journey of a woman made of clay, from birth to adulthood, inviting the audience to reflect on the forces that shape us as human beings.
Drawing from ancient creation myths and rituals of worship and fertility, La Niña Barro transcends borders and cultures. Blending movement, color, texture, and live mbira music, the performance translates the rhythm and emotions of Massé’s poems into a captivating physical experience. With minimal spoken text, the piece plays with sensations and symbolism, allowing each viewer to form their own interpretation.
In a world where identity and societal norms mold us, La Niña Barro poses a thought-provoking question: are we born as social beings, or does society shape us into who we become? This performance is touching, challenging, and deeply engaging.
A meeting of Southern African warmth and the melancholic landscapes of Northern Europe, La Niña Barro is an experience that lingers in the heart—get your tickets now and don’t miss it!
