In Spring 2024 she will be part of the firsts labs for the new annual winter creation from Ateneu Popular de 9 Barris, Circ d’hiver directed by Natalia Barraza. Â
THE PROJECT / Kraquement is a 55-minute performance that delves into the theme of exile. Presented through a sensory and emotional journey, the creation features two performers who embody multiple souls.Â
On the stage, Lucia Heege Torres takes on the roles of a swinging trapezist and contortionist, while LĂ©a LeprĂŞtre serves as the cellist, vocalist, and composer of all live music. The progression of the piece is marked by the continuous transformation of the stage, adorned with Kraft Paper landscapes, a trapeze, paint, and coal. Kraquement is an expression of the chaos inherent in humanity and the resilience found in willpower and love.Â
