ÂRTICA is a non-conventional show, without text, where the theatrical experience becomes a sensitive adventure. An old wooden shed holds a secret that will only be disclosed to those who get in.
In groups of twenty and performances of approximately 50 minutes, the audience will be welcomed by curious characters, who will invite them to enter their home. Each spectator will wear a warm coat to protect them from the cold (6ºC) inside the shed were they will witness a well-kept secret and feel how, in the coldest stories, the warmest moments of life are found.
A unique experience and a set that changes unexpectedly. This is the place where the coldest stories evolve into the warmest memories of our lives. In front of our eyes, a window will open and will let us in a nostalgic and poetic world.

“A wordless, minimalist, and poetic performance of extraordinary aesthetic beauty, where every detail is meticulously crafted and performed with great intensity. A show of emotions, experiences, desolation, and hope. A quest for survival through a fragile, delicate thread—a faith in life—that someone sensitive gathers and carefully preserves in a glass vessel.”

“Sometimes, you come across artists who create entire worlds. Ponten Pie has crafted a nostalgic, intimate, and magical space. A sensory research theater (…) a exquisite proposal, full of lyricism and visual beauty, masterfully directed by Sergi Ots.”
