In a world where everything seems to follow rules and step-by-step instructions, Teresa chooses the freedom of the theatre. Here, she imagines she can fly. Not literally, but as an act of imagination and quiet rebellion. In 'Instructions on how to fly', she presents a manual: clear, convincing, and at times absurd. A game between body, text, and image, where falling is just as meaningful as taking off. The repetition of words—“today yes, yesterday yes, the window yes”—creates a hypnotic rhythm that pulls you in. What starts as an exercise in lightness unfolds into a deeply personal quest for space, longing, and freedom.
