Every move, every gesture the mannequin makes, even the smallest one, requires the operators do a series of complexed motions and actions to mimic the human body.
With virtuous precision and silence, the abstract stage actions lead us in to the deep meanings and thoughts that stand in the base of an action.
THE TIMIDITY OF BONES takes the viewer to an Astonishing journey in the symbols of the human body. Behind a bright white screen, different body part appear: nose, limbs, backbone and elbows create beautiful carvings of buried cultures that disappear In a flash and then appear again on the white fabric, un physical forms that leave nothing behind.
