Pequeños Paraísos

Ideas

Loosely inspired by Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights, Pequeños Paraísos is the first in a trilogy, based on visual artists Aracaladanza has always admired.

With this show, the company intends to give back to the audience moments of happiness through brief bits of joy, which may not be connected but are contagious, promise smiles, radiate peace…

This show is full of light and meticulous details. It welcomes bold creatures and attends to their intimate desires. Pays attention to the game and takes smiles seriously.

Pequeños Paraísos doesn’t fall apart and doesn’t compromise. And, above all, it doesn’t tell a story. It enjoys and delights in the moment.

It doesn’t teach. It doesn’t guide. Most importantly, it doesn’t brainwash. It opens your imagination and sets you free.

It’s a refined work that emphasizes the role of objects and incorporates puppets so seamlessly they become the sixth dancer.

Intended for family audiences, it brings out the kid in all of us, no matter how old you are.

Synopsis

The world reduced to a garden.
And in it strawberries, trapeze artists,
and lamps, and balloons, and flowers, and…
sparkling jewels locked in boxes;
tiny treasures that release the gift of air when opened.

They appear and disappear.
Tiny moments of happiness;
silly pills that offer joy.
And tenderness and emotion. And smiles and fun.

Dreams of paradise for everyone.
Or better: heavens invented in waltz
or even silence.

Joyful pieces that bring distant memories of other heavens:
The Garden of Earthly Delights

Bosch inspires a mad race to the imagination
and offers chaos as a point of departure.
With puppets or balloons: With paper or soap. Like before, anything goes…

like always, everything dances…
like never before,
everything shines
they are Pequeños Paraísos
