Mille horizons*
[Thousand horizons] (*working title)
By Jordi Galí
Creation 2026
Set piece for one dancer and one actor
For all audiences aged 7 and over (in progress)
Duration 50 minutes
Mille horizons is a choreographic creation for a dancer and an actor that brings landscape and outdoors spaces into the intimate world of the theatre, through gesture and poetic words, with the kite as its starting point. The flight of this little sail – a child’s game and an adult’s pastime – is in itself an experience of intimacy with the world, a beginning of wonder. Through the body, the voice and the object, with a dance that opens up the stage, this show aims to conjure up the vast landscapes of the outdoors, mountains and forests, streams and rivers, breezes and currents, day and night. Through movement, objects and poetic words, Mille horizons invites us to take a plunge into the imagination of the vast expanses that surround us.
“Mille horizons is a return to the stage after years away from it. It’s an attempt to conjure up an experience of the landscape in an interior space. To amplify its innermost resonances. The space inside, with its intimacy, acts like a microscope. It focuses the eye and the ear to better reveal what the movement of the body can express as a poetic relationship with the world.
