We live surrounded by people and other living beings. Why do we take into consideration some lives and we don’t do the same to others? Can we empathise with a bird, a fish or a tree? How can the attempt to put ourselves in their shoes could transform us?
Sfumato (rehearsing for the fall of the outlines) is a poetic, immersive and itinerant reflection on the relationships we establish with other species in public space. A journey that seeks to blur our limits as humans, opening cracks through which new sympathies, care and solidarity can begin to circulate.
“Magic breaks logic and leaves a smile of disbelief and lucidity on the viewer. It allows us to imagine much more than any interactive screen game. […] An unusual theatre that invites the audience to leave passive and comfort zone and that achieves it through simplicity”
Jordi Bordes – Recomana.cat
“Itinerant shows do not consist of simply moving the audience from one place to another. Llum de Fideu knows how to visually create very powerful images and take full advantage of each location.”
Oriol Puig Taulé – Núvol.com
“Sfumato is simply beautiful. A suspended moment just a few steps from the city center. It’s somewhere else, another world!”
Stéphaine Albane – Le Journal Saône-et-Loire
