““An intimate reading of a particular scripture: the work of Pablo Palacio. The Ecuadorian author exalts the human and attempts against the established;It suggests that reality could be another. Perseveres to describe the collective as empowerment of humanity, both in the ability to transform and to destroy. Understands human miseries in incontinent but particular situations. His characters live on the edge of an abyss, neither heroic nor romantic, exalting the domestic and the wild, between desire and action. Palace, a man of multiple edges, does not contemplate the duality from the simple oneness of the things, it values it from a chaotic communion. In this staging, the dancers lend their soul and voice to write a visual poetry oneiric and symbolic, as true and crude as the work of Palacio. Before this encounter between page and subject I surrender to the immensity of his work, of its senses, of its perfect disorder “.”

"Una lectura íntima de una escritura particular: la obra de Pablo Palacio (1906-1947). El autor lojano enaltece lo humano y atenta contra lo establecido; insinúa que la realidad podría ser otra. Persevera en describir lo colectivo como empoderamiento de lo humano, tanto en la capacidad de transformar cómo de destruir.
Comprende las miserias humanas en situaciones incontinentes pero particulares. Sus personajes viven al borde de un abismo, ni heroicos ni románticos, exaltan de lo doméstico y lo salvaje, entre deseo y acción.
Palacio, de múltiples aristas, no contempla la dualidad desde la simple unicidad de las cosas, lo valora desde una caótica comunión. En esta puesta en escena, los bailarines prestan su alma y voz para escribir una poesía visual onírica y simbólica, tan veraz y cruda como la obra de Palacio.
Ante este encuentro entre página y sujeto me rindo ante la inmensidad de la obra de palacio, de sus sentidos, de su perfecto desorden”.

Thanks to Escalón films for the teaser
The press said":“Línea y Contorno de un Abismo is, ultimately, a fundamental work in which contemporary interpretation and the lost genius of the distant poet are combined in a way that plays with the audience's perception, who must gradually uncover each facet of the author's personality and work. We hope this excellent production will be shared on more stages internationally.”
