TIED UP

"Tied up" describes the moment when you realise that you are acting in a constrained way compared to the way you would like to (physically shown by the rope wrapping around the body). You try to fight back your freedom, but all the struggle culminates in the acceptance of the fact that what you are is exactly what you want to be. This piece describes an emotional circular journey. The person that is "tied up" lives happy in her world, thinking that her situation is normality, till she meets someone that keeps her attention and suddenly realizes she cannot completely move like the others. So then comes rage, frustration, rebellion and freedom since she is able to untie herself. Now that she is free and oddly not happy, arrives to the conclusion that her previous conditions were better than the present ones. So she ties herself up again, because the way she was (trapped into her paranoiac and a little bit obsessive thoughts about her love, also physically on the stage) is exactly the way she wants to be. These are the reviews of my piece:
