“The clearing in the forest is a center one cannot always enter; from the edge, one gazes at it... an untouched place that seems to have opened only at that instant and will never again be the same.”

Clarianas de Biopoética is an immersive and installation-based performance inspired by the concept of Claros del Bosque by the philosopher María Zambrano. It creates a unique, poetic, and mutable universe through the interaction of different disciplines: audiovisual arts, music, sculpture, movement, and 360º sound technology.

It explores a new opening in the habitual way of perceiving and thinking, promoting a more poetic and intuitive approach to understanding the world around us. The idea of “clarianas” reflects the experience of walking through a forest where trees constantly shift between visibility and invisibility — and, at times, one encounters a clearing.

“It is the immediate lesson of the forest clearings: they are not to be sought, nor anything from them. Nothing determined, prefigured, or known.” Claros del bosque (1977), M. Zambrano.
