10th Annual Black Box International Theatre and Dance Festival 2016

OFFICIAL CLOSING

June 5 (Sunday), 7 pm. Chamber Hall – Plovdiv Drama Theatre

“Expanding Foam” – Bambula Project – UK/Italy

Bambula was conceived in 2013 by Gabriella Catalano and Paolo Rosini as an artistic project that celebrates the union of expressive forms and their creative purposes.
Bambula's work combines dance and physical theatre. It has explored relationships with visual poetry, photography, video Art, object manipulation and experimented with finding original as well as live improvised sound scores for its pieces.
“Expanding Foam” invites you to explore the incoherent dynamics of an oneiric journey   coming to its end. Conscious thoughts are waking up to infiltrate the previous dreams and soon replace theme.
The piece was performed at the Robin Howard Dance Theatre, The Place, in occasion of Resolution!15 Contemporary Dance Festival, London UK
