Shared Landscapes | 2023
A journey of seven plays between fields and forests
With Chiara Bersani and Marco D’Agostin, El Conde de Torrefiel, Sofia Dias and Vítor Roriz, Begüm Erciyas and Daniel Kötter, Stefan Kaegi, Ari Benjamin Meyers, Émilie Rousset
What if the landscape was a theatre? What if art did not represent the environment, but allowed us to experience it collectively? What is at stake today in our relationship to “nature” and its representations, and in the relationship between urban and rural spaces, in a time when our climate and resources are leading us towards a new awareness of fragility and interdependence?
Et si le paysage était un théâtre ? Et si l’art ne représentait pas l’environnement mais nous permettait d’en faire une expérience collective ? Qu’est-ce qui se joue aujourd’hui dans notre relation à la « nature » et ses représentations, dans les relations entre ville et campagne alors que climat et ressources entraînent une nouvelle conscience des fragilités et des interdépendances ?
Caroline Barneaud and Stefan Kaegi
Portuguese choreographers and performers Sofia Dias and Vítor Roriz have developed a choreographic language that includes text and voice, creating shows, performances, and podcasts as well as installations…
For Shared Landscapes, the duo has composed a sound and choreographic piece for audio-guide headsets, which simultaneously guides two audience groups through the forest, in a kind of pas de deux or surrealistic ritual, between instructions and daydreams. A personal meditation and a collective experience that interrogates our relationship to what surrounds us.
Sofia Dias et Vítor Roriz, chorégraphes et performeur·se·s portugais·e·s, développent un langage chorégraphique qui inclut le texte et la voix et créent aussi bien des spectacles, des performances, des podcasts que des installations... Pour Paysages partagés, le duo compose une pièce sonore et chorégraphique pour casques audio qui guide simultanément dans la forêt deux groupes de public, dans une sorte de pas de deux, de rituel surréaliste, entre instructions et rêveries. Une méditation personnelle et expérience collective qui interroge notre relation à ce qui nous entoure.
