This show gathers astrophysical, biochemical, technological and the so-called “occult” sciences on stage, together with the body and its physical and emotional experience. It portrays a dialogue between intertwining knowledge types, systems, and plans, breaking with their pre-established hierarchies. Huerto (Garden) is the ascent and descent ritual of a feminine body that pierces it all, and is pierced by everything. It is embodied by a mythological figure with access to an own galaxy of crops, desires, legacies, knowledge and scales. 

Huerto results from putting onstage the research task undertaken by scientific, technological, and artistic professionals, reinterpreting thus the human body as a wisdom source in itself. It brings new ways of self-reflection and existence on the stage in order to transcend it.

After Las alegrías (The Joys, 2019) and La carne (The Meat, 2020), Huerto constitutes the third part of a trilogy that concerns empowerment and body ascent.
