They are telling us a story.
Stories
of a moment in time
a cusp
in a future-past.

Human beings began
to develop a new consciousness
that transformed
the sense of presence-absence
in the world, intuiting
networks of palpable relationalities

Starting from a critical interrogation of anthropocentrism, and with sci-fi overtones, the performance delves into the question of the meaning of being human in this times. It invites a reflection of the embedded, extended and embodied self, through the imaginings of an ecological vision that is not only environmental, but also of the self, and socio-political.

The work draws from local historicities and anecdotes, political issues, scientific knowledge, and with a visual storytelling approach, the choreographic practice interweaves dance, spoken word, and camera movement. The performance traverses the landscape like a breathing canvas; a living stage where fictional imaginaries overlap and intersect with the actual site. Conceived as a choreographic work for the camera, every hour a performance will be live-streamed on the Walking Landscapes facebook page, with the possibility of capturing all 13 performances afterwards. Each video performance is an episode in the overall narrative, like a fragment, a close encounter with a particular point in the landscape and story.
