Performance title: THE SHAFT
by LORENZO BRUSCI and LandWorks Argentiera 2015 – Soundscape Team -
MIMI COVIELLO – SERGIO NIGRO -SARA ANGELINI – JESSIKA ALLAFFE – DEBRA LAKE- KARIM JAMAL EL DINE
_An intensive sensorial experience,
an immersive soundscape,
inter-multi-cultural and linguistic action,
a collective physical and expressive performance of welcome and healing,
a choreography of individual and group behaviors,
exploring and intensifying archetypical / ritualized sentiments
“…To unfold a heritage
and release it in flourishing open meadows,
we should never hide behind its precious monumentalism.
Traditions are tools to explore a wider future.
Prosperity and democracy mean demographical increase and intense occupation and accelerated exploitation of planet Earth.
What is this caravan of humans meaning to the earth, to the extensive and growing awareness of ecological sense?
Worried about a growing old future, reversed to its fundamental biological contradictions…”.
This is how we came together to Sardinia, Argentiera, 2015, Landworks.
My soundscape team aimed immediately at exploring the old present in Argentiera, wearing the lenses of each member’s personal skills and culture, the collective capacity to interact and share, and the local morphing curiosity and generosity:
in and out, we were, in and out we should always be. One and many, own and others-driven, at once.
Nothing is given.
And if it is given, it’s for sharing, with the widest thinkable community.
There, peacemaking is undergoing and never defeated.
Ecology thinkers know, not even one ecology is given.
And of one thing, we certain are:
at the scale of the earth, only radical ecologies have chances to scale – from micro-understanding and adapting strategies to the integral titanic challenge:
to play the natural cycle as one sensing organism.
