Synopsis

Loo is a strong, hot and dry wind that runs on summer evenings from the western region of the Indo-Gangetic plain. It creates itself with extremely low levels of humidity and high temperatures. Loo also dehydrates and dries vegetation.

LOO besides being the name of a wind, is the name of our main character, the humanization of his element. The performance shows a vision of its hard work to push the sand dunes across the desert, devastating wetlands, seas and oceans that are in its path, leaving ships paralyzed amidst a sea of sand, eliminating forever its ability to sail. Intended to children from 2 to 5 years old, the show is an unconventional and sensorial proposal, without text. It is developed as an on-stage show that takes 30 minutes where the spectator is located in the middle of the scene, inside a sunken 8m x 7m ship in the sand of the desert.

A poetic and unknown document that takes a closer look on how and why the wind can form a desert.
