361º Degrees stands out for exposing that inside a circus artist (or any other discipline belonging to the so-called “living arts”) lives a person who “swings” between memories that come and go, feelings that “visit” him. ”, or ideas that enrich your way of facing the present. All this in contrast to that image of the juggler (to give an example) who appears focused and imperturbable, waiting for things to turn out the same as the best of the versions of his rehearsals.
Therefore, this work surprised me, because even though I witnessed the wide repertoire that it has Clara Reina from his mastery of hoop dance, the fact is that this became the terrain he traveled while his character dealt with his human condition. That is to say: on stage there was a person who had no way of deciphering exactly what was happening to him while he was performing his act, and given his spontaneity and transparency one could not help but remain in expectation of what was going to happen next. continuation. And on top of that, there were links from scene to scene that were sometimes abrupt, strange, funny and sometimes very elegant.
Where I want to go with this is that the direction of Ana Donoso Mora He managed to link and balance moments that, apparently, would lead to collapse, and even madness, with the representation of a fresh and somewhat disturbing montage. In which there is room to make a detailed analysis of the psychology and the framework that made this character possible, or limit oneself to the enjoyment of the virtuosity and rigor of this Andalusian professional towards her specialty. Since during its performance there is a tension between the exhibition of Clara Reina’s hula hoop skills, with the fact that the character of the play will remain meditative and restless until, probably, the last of her days. What else is What do you need to understand that a work aimed at children and youth refers us to the human drama as much as those intended for “adults”?

Which leads us to affirm that 361º Degrees It has so many layers within it that it would not be enough to see it a couple of times to get the most out of it. Likewise, this responds to something that many creations aimed at children and youth are not enough, which is that all viewers can enjoy the same thing from their respective possibilities. In such a way, that relationship based on ignorance, which has caused them to be perceived (before even being seen) as something ridiculous, simple and insipid. Along these lines, I believe that those of us who write about performing arts should be more concerned about knowing and making visible works aimed at children and youth, because we will not transmit and believe the message that everything that is for a adult audience is of better artistic quality and contains greater “depth” in its content.
Furthermore, the members of Inc. Transit Project has taken responsibility for offering us, the viewers, images so beautiful and at the same time bizarre, that it seemed that the imagination of these professionals had no end. All of them, as a result of combining the emotional/human with a lot of hula hoops put at the service of a work that drew psychedelic and elemental figures in space. To the point that if one devoted oneself to the purely aesthetic, one would find that the chalk with which they smeared the hula hoops projected colored “rays” throughout the rooms of the Alameda Theater that reminded us that in a stage piece The allegorical and suggestion must coexist with the tragic.

In parallel, the character of 361º Degrees He seemed to me to be the most charming and tender being, without failing to inspire respect in me. And I think that is where the horizon is that we have to aim for when we dedicate ourselves to profile a character of a work that relies on the extra everyday, in order to constitute a dimension in which what coincides with our reality is through a mirror effect. Thus, the so-called “creative freedom” will be focused on basing each and every one of the things that operate on stage, not on “what comes out of me,” or in the worst case, a whim.
Definitely, It has been an absolute pleasure to witness 361º Degrees, since in addition to having taken me out of the theater with a smile because of how pleasant it is to see it, it left me wanting to chat with that enigmatic individual who starred in a play that knew how to transcend, rightly, a circus piece. Namely, how far this work will go throughout its tour that has already visited various Spanish stages.
