This is the battlefield of a war of contradictory feelings, of confrontations with reality lived and dreamed, where they protect a space that, after all, who does it belong to? What keeps them here is exactly the will to communicate, to listen and to kill what separates them.
3,50 x 2,70 [three and a half two seventy] tries to question the space of the other, the borders, from the inside out, from the outside to the inside, in a search of a common language where silence, words and gestures don’t belong to no one.
3,50 x 2,70 [three and a half two seventy] is a creation of Ana Rita Barata and Bruno Rodrigues./ CiM – Dance Company, interpreted by six deaf actors and listeners.
It’s an adaptation of the original piece of Eero Enqvist kukunor (with original title in Finnish kukunor ja unikuu or kukunor and unikuu adapted to English as “Guardians of Dreams”), within the European project Sign+Sound Theatre (Creative Europe Programme – European Commission).This project’s main objective is to promote the Deaf Theatre at European level and, in particular, the pioneering method of IBT (Innovative Bilingual Theater). This method explores new ways of creating inclusive art for an inclusive audience, allowing artists and spectators, deaf and hearing, to enjoy both the same and simultaneous artistic experience.
