Teatro al Vacio is a company that is permanently looking for new ways to devise and create theatre based on discipline and constant training. It seeks to create a
kind of theater that transcends the viewer while transcending the actor, a theater that is honest and not imposed, a theater conceived by the actor and generated by his basic needs, a theater
where the actor is a creator. The company is committed to a type of plastic-physical theater with minimal aesthetic, responding to new contemporary trends, in order to offer new scenic
alternatives.

The performance takes place on a circular mat of knitted fabric with eye-catching colors and textures. In the first section of the play, four actors explore
progressively 4 balls of fabric, rolling, throwing, stretching and unravelling them in rhythmic sequences accompanied by music and vocalizations. Slowly, this game creates a web, in which babies
and toddlers are invited to interact; this makes up the second part of the experience.
The 4 actors-players on stage are not characters in a fictional story, they provide the conditions in which to play, as well as care for the toddlers. The
environment thus created, is one of calm and trust, but also of play and curiosity.
The play stimulates the babies' development by inviting them to move in order to participate, as well as promoting bonding with other audience members on stage and
in their seats.
ASOMA is also an experience for the parents of the young audience, who commonly witness reactions in their kids they had not seen before. During the interactive
work, the viewer opens to the presence of others, and his imagination is stimulated by the activities presented.
