IaMONTO's theatre production *Alma* combined slow movements, physical expression, and sensory details on a minimalist stage with a futuristic feel at Encamp's Complex Esportiu i Sociocultural on Saturday.
The performance drew about 50 spectators as part of the Cicle Cultural Encamp. Two barefoot performers in light blue overalls—one sporting a large rat-head mask and white cap—engaged with everyday objects in a poetic display. Merging object theatre and movement, the piece drew viewers into an imaginative realm that encouraged reflection on ties to the surrounding world.
Deliberate motions, pacing, and striking visuals built an evocative experience centred on time's flow and environmental connections.
The cultural series continues on 9 May with a show by vocal duo Tarta Relena, featuring Marta Torrella and Helena Ros. They offer fresh takes on Mediterranean folk traditions, blending a cappella singing, polyphonies, ancient tunes, and new works, often with minimal instrumentation. The set underscores the voice's power for expression and narrative, creating a gentle, enveloping soundscape.
It takes place at 8:30pm in the venue's sala de festes, with tickets costing €12 to €14, per the ANA.
