Kaïros (Gr.) means the most convenient, decisive moment for doing something successful. The union of consciousness and the subconscious. To be in Kaïros means to be in tune with wholeness. This idea shows the importance of time. From this vision of a «convenient moment», director Oskar Gómez Mata seizes the opportunity to develop a new piece of work. In “Kaïros”, the scenes are a playful poetic escape in which a fundamental question is posed: “What are we actually doing here?” An invitation to make holes in reality, holes in time, holes of possibility, holes of opportunity. Will we be able through these holes to see time spherically rather than chronologically? L’Alakran present all of this to us with liberating spite.

Cie L’Alakran 
L’Alakran create comic, philosophical, although always poetic pieces. The political context in terms of a critical stance is closely linked with the artistic project: to scrutinize the relationship between the individual and the community without trying to come up with answers or ideologies, establishes a new relationship between the audience and the stage.
