Walking, Talking Minerals

Prague Quadrennial

Duration: 11 days from 8-18 June 2023 

17 bodies, tools and sand

Holešovice Market, Prague, Czech Republic 

Walking, Talking Minerals explores the relationship between humans and their surroundings - a landscape that we are constantly altering and dominating. The work manifested at PQ23 as  transforming tableaus of useless labor through 17 bodies, tools and local materials in a 11 day duration. The work is part of a performative macro scenography labored by bodies and tools guided by a score: Construct - Deconstruct - Compile - Scatter - Construct - Deconstruct - Compile - Scatter -

 

The on-going macro scenography consists of independent site & material specific adaptations: WTM#01, WTM#02 and WTM#03 developed and performed between Palmera Gallery in Bergen, Norwegian Theatre Academy in Fredrikstad, Norway and Overgaden in Copenhagen, Denmark. 

 

Walking, Talking Minerals was labored by performing scenographers, students from the Norwegian Theatre Academy and performers exploring how to ‘be’ in a scenographic performance context.
