“…It’s like an explosion upwards, a moment of suspension in the air where you are weightless, free…. But the higher the jump, the harder the fall. The trampoline can be a monster…”
In this piece, the writing and dramaturgy seek a poetic, raw, and at the same time humorous language, presenting the trampoline as a true creative canvas.
This Anyday may be the last day.

It is a tender, heart-breaking world.
A world filled with darkness, foreboding shadows, strange sounds, echoes of the past; a presentiment of the future?
Comic, absurd, surreal, Anyday excavates deep reefs of emotion. Yet the archeology of loneliness is shot through with light and ultimately joy.

Exuberant and exhilarating, the detailed story takes us into the emotional and psychological landscape of our character; but in a final coup de théâtre, the interior narrative transcends the body, soul-like it flies out into the world, encountering the audience in a profound, memorable connection.

Show dedicated to the memory of Ricardo Gallardo.
With thanks to Milorad Zakula, Pablo Meneu, Roland Brauchli, Fernando Rosende, Jean-Marc Vallalta, Jonah Russel, Richard Guerrinett and Serge Hamon.
