Common Ground is a piece about our capacity to replace one thing with a similar one. On stage, the interior of an apartment is reproduced by two life-size animated projections that suggest the movements of a person wondering through the space. The audience, contained within that illusory space produced by the images of each room and its sounds, is sensorially immersed in the events recounted by a person whose voice can be heard but is never visible throughout the performance, and whose absence is thus embodied.
Cecilia Vallejos creates theatrical structures in which form justifies content and vice versa, setting up a specific relationship between the audience and the work each time. Her work isn't strictly choreographic, but her way of involving and understanding action remains closely related to a dramaturgy of movement and space.
