“Fora” | AR companies – Alice Rende (France)
Age guidance: 8+
Show duration: 60 mins
This box, so small, forces her to contort herself. And there is the great escape… But, once outside, does this woman really free herself? The twists continue to reign over her body. As a sign of her inner struggle, she continues to defy invisible walls.
In Portuguese, Catalan, Sardinian & Occitan, FORA means “outside”. Alice Rende’s solo brings together two practices of flexibility & illusionism: enterology (the art of folding one’s entire body into a box which is clearly too small) & escapology (the art of escaping from shackles). Despite these striking techniques, we should all relate ourselves with the tightness.
