Tinieblas is a collection of stories about people who get lost. We live on a continent that has been completely mapped out. Forest paths are signposted and routes are carefully described in travel guides. Connected to thousands of satellites orbiting the planet, we find our way without looking at the world around us. Where and how can we get lost today? In the theatre?

Tinieblas is a performance in which the audience gets lost, finds its way back and gets lost again. The theatre becomes the centre of an area, a place with its own geographical coordinates. At the same time, the spectators form a single moving body, like a flock of starlings.

During her residency at BUDA, Edurne Rubio is working on the text for the performance.

Edurne Rubio (ES/BE)

Edurne Rubio is a visual artist based in Brussels. Her practice shifts among different contexts and formats: performances, films and sound projects. Edurne creates situations where tension is built up between what we see and what we hear, between present, memory and imagination. With an anthropological approach, she uses interviews as her primary method of work, collecting individual stories to build a collective narrative and, in so doing, she questions any linear reading of history, offering a subjective reading in continuous transformation and dependent on affections.
