A Dance Theater performance piece combined with video installation based on the play by Cuban playwright José Triana, “Assassins for One Night” narrates the struggle against the constant restrictions imposed upon us by a system without any real power. Through dance, theatre, music and projections, three characters deconstruct the obstacles that limit their individuality through the use of imagination and fantasy. Alexey Taran (Director of Teatro Físico) and Carla Forte (Screenwriter and Filmmaker) are the intellectual authors of this night, during which the act of becoming an assassin will become a liberating escapade for both the onstage participants and the audience.
