<In any given situation, what is going on in your head, and what is going on in your body never exactly coincide’. One is always thinking, remembering or imagining, superimposing layers on the experience at hand, which confronts one with the impossibility of being totally present. This problem is even more pronounced in the theatre space, both for performers and audience.> (Meg Stuart)

How to be present? How to reduce the noise inside? Or, in the impossibility of reducing that noise, how do we embrace it?

Heartbeat is an exercise in listening; it looks at the many parts that compose who we are with attention and acceptance. It explores the inner capacity to become aware of our body and the chatter of our mind, while embracing the complexity and contradiction that many times lives inside of us.
