Non-verbal performance.

Duration: 30 minutes

Loo is a hot, dry wind from Asia that comes alive on summer afternoons. The show is a poetic exploration of the changes this wind can cause: moving the desert sand dunes, drying up wetlands and jungles, leaving ships buried in sandy oceans, unable to sail.

Set around the bow of a sunken boat in a sea of sand, the show uses evocative music, buried objects and stunning visual effects, to give its audience a first-hand experience of the destructive effect of this wind... And a chance to understand how and why the Loo blows.

"A spectacle without words, minimalist, poetic and of extraordinary beauty.” Recomana.cat on Ârtica
