We are excited to share with the extended UNIMA community our personal and artistic journey in creating and staging the play Títeres de Hielo, which premiered in May 2019—when we could not have imagined the extreme and fragile conditions that humanity would soon face with the outbreak of COVID-19.
In this work, conceived and crafted from figures made of frozen water (ice), we question existence itself, delving into fundamental questions about the deeper meaning of life. In doing so, we put our love and our most intimate essence at stake, offering our very being to the fluctuating sensations of weight, erosion, and inevitable fading away. Like ice, we are ephemeral beings, endowed with a unique and honest life.
