An immersion into an organism created from wool, sounds, colors, and textures combined with circus acrobatics, dance, rhythms, and music. The journey through the complexities and layers of the most basic elements of existence weaves a being out of threads, hands, and bodies to unfold a new world carried by the physical precision and blind trust between the performers. Organismo’s Idea and Performance Director Paula Riquelme is a Chilean artist based in Berlin. This work is presented in partnership with the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival, the largest event dedicated to the art form in North America.
