## About this plan

"Cuando no éramos vacío" is a theater piece that mixes dance, acting, and poetry to talk about grief. The stage follows two women sharing a house packed with objects, routines, and memories. The loss runs through them, not just for the people who are gone, but for the past versions of themselves that no longer return.

The starting point is three poems by Piedad Bonnett: En el borde, Huéspedes, and Cocina. From there, the piece walks through the emotional world of someone who grieves, that everyday limbo where absence becomes permanent. Mothers, daughters, and sisters live with a pain that does not end, and the stage turns it into body, word, and movement.

If you want a theater plan in Bogotá that steps away from the usual, this piece may interest you. It speaks to women who feel stuck in a never-ending emptiness, and to anyone curious to see how dance and physical theater can tell something so personal.
