**********************************
Since its inception in Lima in 1999, Cuer2 has created eight shows that have been presented in numerous theaters and festivals in Peru, Chile, Argentina and Ecuador. The original creative method implemented by the group focuses on the process: a series of workshops and creative laboratories propel a constant state of theatrical investigation and redefinition of the final product.

The process of creation for Hebras followed two lines of investigation. The group experimented with the notion of gravitation within the theater space: what happens when two bodies come closer and move apart alternatively, in a movement of perpetual attraction and rejection? These movements draw the metaphor of the fragile threads that bring us together but can break at any moment. Hebras also explores the platonic myth of the androgynous, as narrated in Plato’sSymposium: the human being is in constant search of the other, of this complement that will make him/her feel complete. The sole instrument of expression is the body; there is no use for words. The result is like a ritual in which the audience surrounds the masked actors.

SPANISH
Cuer2, es un grupo teatral ya con 12 años de trabajos en los que han tratado de buscar el equilibrio entre la obra como parte de una historia y los cuerpos de los actores como parte activa de la expresión de las emociones.

Esta nueva obra del grupo teatral “Cuer2” llamado simplemente “Hebras”, intenta mostrarnos lo que ocurre con las relaciones humanas, cuando los cuerpos se aproximan y las palabras sobran, una obra casi sin diálogos y que contará con el acompañamiento musical de una guitarra y un Violín.
