The missing door 2013 / Collaboration

In The missing door, Gabriela Carrizo shows two parallel dimensions by intertwining fantasy and reality. We are witnessing the last minutes of life, which take place in the twilight zone between life and death. The dying man anxiously tries to find a way through the intricate maze of his thoughts. While soundscapes of everyday sounds turn into lost rhythms, the man performs a lonely battle with time, space and those who are absent.

The missing door (2013) was the first collaboration between Gabriela Carrizo and the dancers of NDTI. It premiered on December 6th, 2013 in Koninklijk Theater Carré in Amsterdam (NL). The piece was followed in 2015 by The lost room (Franck Chartier) and in 2017 by The hidden floor (Franck Chartier).

Press

"Gabriela Carrizo packs the thriller as a comedy, underlining the slapstick with black humor. One wished Berlin had more such highlights."
Süddeutsche Zeitung  01/12/2017
"Very strange and yet so human. Between black series and a therapy session."
Res Musica  01/12/2017
"Wonderful how Gabriela Carrizo combines black humor with an exuberant scenic fantasy."
Der Tagesspiegel  29/11/2017
