The images of pain and anguish are pierced with humour and the absurd in "Platea" .
Starting from the idea of limbo or the transition state of souls, “Platea” is presented to us as the representation of an imaginary limbo, a banquet table in the midst of a wetland landscape. The tides highlight the capacity of life to give and take without any explanation or ties. A God, as the master of ceremonies, welcomes the bodies arriving in this mutable environment. Dragged in by the sea, they arrive disoriented or fainted, like shipwreck survivors or mermaids. They all had a life and death before. The place has been prepared for the final celebration, the great mutation, although they must first rid themselves of their previous wills, which still resonate.

“Platea” is the Basque company Tripak’s third production, an existential reflection on what takes place between life and death with room for humour and the absurd. In this work, the images of pain and anguish are pierced with humour and the absurd. Polyphonic singing, along with the sounds of the accordion and violin, wander from the classical to the experimental and bring together abstract and poetic visions. The piece, resulting from a profound aesthetic intention, goes beyond conventional narrative and becomes a means to take the audience on a journey between tears and laughter.
