Ensaio amor is the result of conciliation, job insecurity and love.
Three young women decide to embark on a scenic project on Ohm’s law, appropriating the signifiers it contains: voltage, current and resistance, to reflect on their different meanings and use them as physical guidelines. Motherhood changes bodies, needs, priorities, resources and timing.
Four women: two dancers, a ‘little person’, and a cellist question themselves as women. What they do with love and for love; questioning their roles as caregivers, mothers and lovers.
Nuria Sotelo
