Soledad
Creation 2025
The many solitudes of a one-man band
Puppets, shadow theater, magic and music
In the room
_
Soledad explores the theatrical and metaphorical dimension of the singular figure of The One-Man Band by pushing the limits of its multiplication and ubiquity thanks to the subtle tools offered by the stage (light and black theatre, magic) and puppetry techniques (masks, automatons, shadows). The musical body splits, hybridizes. Alone in essence, it increases and reinvents itself.
Santiago Moreno offers the viewer a dreamlike journey, sometimes burlesque, sometimes disturbing, to encounter his solitudes. He tells us the story of a character in transformation who discovers that I am another. That of a man alone in the crowd of his head who invites this other for a little dance.
We then discover how a man adapts to his solitude, inhabits it, and deceives it through music and poetry.
