Open rehearsal of ‘Cuerpos Celestes’ by AzkonaToloza

After eight years touring Abya Yala with the Trilogía Pacífico, looking for the cracks left by colonialism and capitalist barbarism on life on the planet, diving into the consequences of unregulated extractivism and the geopolitical relations that root all of this , the questions piled up: what now? Where are we going? What surface should we trace? Which voices should we listen to? And the first clue was in the last verse of Teatro Amazonas: “Now, what you have to do is slow down and listen.”

After years of paying attention to human voices and stories, now who should I listen to? What if it wasn’t humans? Neither the animals nor the trees will have the last word, as Joan Brossa wrote. What if they were stones, minerals or electromagnetic waves? This is the first gesture of the project: to remove the human from the center of the scene to place the mineral there. To hear how our voices enter into dialogue with the crunch of the stones and the frequencies of the satellite movements.

A project of the resident company AzkonaToloza.

This is an open rehearsal of a stage project still in the process of creation.
