‘Isla’ is family theatre that 'transcends limits'

foto 2021 islaThe Formentera Department of Culture is pleased to announce that Monday 19 July, the D’Click theatre company will regale local audiences with “Isla”, a family show about the dreams (and hallucinations) of three shipwrecked characters whose only hope lies in one another.

In a story that reflects on the wisdom of seeking refuge at sea and capsizing on an island, the characters of “Isla” overcome the limits of their island in unlikely situations and with the strangest of strategies. Based on an earlier study of body and movement in which circus-esque devices like acrobatics and the Chinese pole function as performative languages, the show is a reminder of the thin line between physical theatre and dance, circus and risk, magic and dream.

“Isla” won Aragon’s Performing Arts Revelation Award in 2016 and the Best Circus Show award the following year. It also won first prize at the 2017 Noctívagos street theatre competition and the Circada Award in 2019.

The troupe
Since 2010, D’Click have believed that the best way to emotionally engage a crowd is through an intermingling of distinct classes of performing arts. The company has performed at national and international festivals like Umore Azoka Festival, Trayectos Danza Festival, Festival de Tàrrega, Villarreal Festival, TAC Festival (Valladolid), FITICH Festival (Chile), Ovar Festival (Portugal), Pirineos Sur Festival, International Performing Arts Festival of Querétaro Mexico and more.

Tickets to the limited-seating production in the Marc Ferrer Secondary School courtyard are available at
www.entradesformentera.cat. The show starts at 7.30pm and is part of 2021 Sant Jaume programme.
