Solo for a dancer
Length: 45 min.

The Open Door is a dance performance based in the myth of the Parcas, daughters of the night and the creators of the string of life. It travels through the universal symbolism of the cosmic string, talking about beginnings, ends and lost opportunities. A string charged with different meanings.

The light design was created as part of the choreography; it defines the body, the emotions and situations of the performer.

The dancer looks for a door, an open door, a destiny. Is like a trip through a labyrinth, just like life itself, that can have no sense but never the less it is an exciting game.
