In these days when human beings rescued from death by Open Arms have become a banal topic for summer talk proposals that put us in front of the mirror and turn numbers into people are more necessary than ever . We cannot become like those Romans who save or condemn with the thumb or the vote.
On a day like any other the trains stop passing and the borders close. Then the roads become inhospitable places and are filled with people trying to flee to somewhere where they can sleep safely. The mud fills the souls all the lights become cold and the world is filled with people fleeing. The trains always pass full and the roads become inhospitable places.
A world that always needs one more piece of paper one more stamp one more authorization to be able to disembark in a safe port.
With just a suitcase full of nothing and some hope in the form of a CXB Directory life preserver the journey of these two women begins . ' The sea from afar ' is a story of escape and desperation with which the Tras el Trapo Teatro company takes a look at the fragility of what surrounds us. Lives that at any moment fall apart and are shaken by the world.
Two women fleeing in circles who have been left “again with their faces broken.” Two human beings whom the world has fallen upon and buried. A world that always needs one more piece of paper one more stamp one more authorization to be able to disembark in a safe port.
María Duarte and Ana Oliva lend their faces to these two women who through the art of theater put a face to millions of people to whom we have labeled refugees. People whose names are erased and their looks blurred in order to turn them into an anonymous crowd.
A work with the courage of someone who wants to understand the process that millions of people go through when reality has exploded in their faces and they have had to embark on an escape in which an hour of sleep is a treasure. A cold road that becomes a perennial and eternal threat to which people of all conditions and all colors are dragged.
