Tinieblas is a col­lec­ti­on of sto­ries about peo­p­le who get lost.

A polypho­nic nar­ra­ti­ve that recre­a­tes real events, or per­haps situ­a­ti­ons that have only ever exi­sted in the col­lec­ti­ve ima­gi­na­ti­on: legends, tales, rumours…
We live on a con­ti­nent that has been enti­re­ly map­ped. Forest paths are sign­po­sted, and rou­tes care­ful­ly descri­bed in gui­de­books. Connected to thou­sands of satel­li­tes orbi­ting the pla­net, we search for 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 beco­mes lost, found, and lost again. The the­a­tre beco­mes the cen­tre of a ter­ri­to­ry, a pla­ce with its own geo­grap­hic coo­r­di­na­tes. At the same time, the spec­ta­tors form a sin­gle body in moti­on, like a mur­mu­ra­ti­on of starlings. 

It is a sen­so­ry expe­rien­ce that con­stant­ly holds the ten­si­on bet­ween insi­de and out­si­de, bet­ween the slow pace of a wal­king human and the ver­ti­gi­nous speed of the ima­gi­na­ti­on, capa­ble of tele­por­ting us in an instant.

Tinieblas is a col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with the Centro Dramático Nacional in Madrid, whe­re the per­for­man­ce will pre­mie­re in May 2026. The Belgian pre­mie­re will fol­low in the autumn at Kaaitheater in Brussels.
