WONDERGROUNDAFTER THE RAIN
A kinetic poem about letting go of someone you love
Through an energetic dance of forces, open narratives and transient landscapes; The meeting and constant transformation of two individuals awakens unexpected memories about the nature of our lives.
After the Rain is a dance of hopes and fears.
After the Rain takes this natural phenomenon as a metaphor for the ephemeral
At the same time that Tom and Roser entered a studio together, Roser's father was diagnosed with a brain tumor. AFTER THE RAIN is the artistic work that has accompanied and moved through the process of her father's illness and passing. It holds the sensations and questions that arise—many of which are deeply tied to the very essence of living. And it does so by looking at nature as a reflection. Letting go of someone you love is a deeply personal experience, yet also a universal one. From this perspective, the piece explores beliefs about love, death, transformation, spirit, and transcendence, mirroring itself in the natural world and its processes.
Minimal scenography, yet charged with symbolic imagery and natural elements. A poetic space where imagination, emotional landscapes, and metaphors of nature quietly unfold.
