Joséphina

Chaliwaté — 2009

The absent and yet omnipresent Joséphina, occupies the space…

Caught in the middle of a play with words, body movements, ellipses and clues, the absent and yet omnipresent Joséphina, occupies the space… What happened three months ago?
As the physical sequences evolve, words and action never giving it away, fragments of life and intimacy are revealed. What clues should you follow? What should you believe?Movements and sounds intertwine, desperately trying to solve the mystery…

Joséphina was awarded three "coup de cœur" prizes at the Vue sur la Relève Festival in Montreal in April 2009, voted "Best Show" at the Nuevo Leon International Theatre Festival in Monterrey, Mexico in August 2011, received the Audience Award at the Huesca International Theatre and Dance Fair in Spain in October 2012 and was nominated for the 2013 Critics' Prize in Belgium in the "Discovery" category.
