Nostalgia, will focus on theatrical representations of different facets of love which shape the moral fiber of an individual. The narration will be told through puppetry, dance and video. Selected texts from various historical and mythical events as well as visual metaphors based on love will be used as references. Some of the references that will be used include writings of Buddha, images connected to ideas of love such as Venus, Cupid, Chalchiuhtlicue and Oshun. In addition poems from Neruda to Shakespeare to Rumi will inspire scenarios that reflect on devotion and the joys and sorrows of this emotion.
Nostalgia is written and created by Federico Restrepo and Denise Greber. It will be designed, choreographed and directed by Federico Restrepo, with music composed by Elizabeth Swados.
