In 1992, the Austrian author Peter Handke, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, wrote a "play without words" entitled "The hour when we knew nothing about each other". Once the dialogue and voices are gone, what's left? What's left is the power of the gestures and movements of countless characters, who cross a square on a day like any other. Olga Roriz turns this piece into a choreography, with the help of a cast made up of seven dancers and several people from the local community, actualising this kind of microcosm of humanity imagined by Handke. A rare experience with which the choreographer intends to question what has changed in the world since the work's premiere, some thirty years ago. Do we know more about each other today? Or, on the contrary, do we know even less, despite sharing the same physical and virtual squares? And do we know anything about ourselves?
