WTM

Walking, Talking Minerals

8-18 June 2023

Prague, Czech Republic

A performative macro scenography of sand labored by bodies and tools, guided by a score.

WTM - Walking, Talking Minerals explores the relationship between humans and their surroundings - a landscape that we are constantly trying to alter and dominate - manifested through bodies, tools and materials in transforming tableaus of useless labor.

The project is a macro scenography consisting of four adaptations WTM#01, WTM#02 and WTM#03 developed between Palmera Gallery in Bergen, Norwegian Theatre Academy in Fredrikstad and Overgaden in Copenhagen. WTM - Walking, Talking Minerals is designed as a score for context and material-specific productions - including its environment through its materials.

Each worker creates a tool, as a collaborator for their actions. Each worker - each tool - labors a material for a duration of time. Every worker is bound to a tool for a duration of time

Construct - Deconstruct. Compile - Scatter
Construct - Deconstruct. Compile - Scatter

This ongoing and continued artistic project examines the power dynamics between things and human bodies. WTM#4 is performed by performing scenographers and students from the Norwegian Theatre Academy in the ongoing task of moving minerals.
