BREVE SUEÑO / SHORT SSLEEP
Interdisciplinary diptych: Beyond and The Sleepers
by Patricia Martínez
Commissioned by The Experimentation Center of the Colón Theatre (CETC)
“Beyond” was supported by the IBERMÚSICAS / IBERESCENA Award
‘Breve Sueño’ is composer Patricia Martínez’s two-part meditation on death and the afterlife. In ‘Beyond’ and ‘The Sleepers,’ the artist contemplates the end of corporeal existence and how it informs the way we live. Martínez describes her work as ‘vulnerable’ and ‘exposed.’ It’s also brave, unsettling, and ultimately rewarding.
