ANDREA GONZÁLEZ | Hrs.
About the piece
Two people are waiting for something or someone in the same space. As time goes by, both express their anxiety and their tranquility through their bodies and allow themselves to be enveloped by each other. Behind the wait, there is time–which, although short, the “waiters” perceive as eternal–and despair, due to its slow passing, and both take them to the limit.
