haunted landscape/s
a series of performances by claudia bosse
landscapes inhabited by ghosts
landscapes that harbour the dead
landscapes that harbour signs of nuclear devastation
collapsed tunnels or wounded landscapes
let them be
let them be like that
let them absorb life
tell of them in their substrate and their proliferations
our planet is a living organism and is covered with wounded landscapes, landscapes that bear visible signs of their attacks, wars, climatic changes, degradation of materials, or attacks on the energies that we humans think we need to survive. humans dig and change the movements of the earth, dig into its layers; thus wounded landscapes are created. in some, spirits dwell, breathing into the landscape or into time and leaving their traces. some landscapes change or are destroyed by the earth's interior or the movement of the earth's plates, while gases and liquid substances rise to the surface and create tsunamis, others are excavated, undermined and their raw materials are extracted and transported elsewhere. the resulting material is redistributed above ground, arranged, new landscapes are created, while others are covered over. at the same time, more gases are formed in the underground holes.
at the centre of haunted landscape/s are volcanoes, open-cast mines, mines as endangered landscapes and their myths, stories or experiences.
it is about our planet, how we understand it and live with it.
it is about huge transformations of environments and their global impact.
it is about wounded or poisoned landscapes and their healing.
it is about traces of ghosts and monsters that inhabit these landscapes and their influence on the surrounding communities of human and non-human actors.
haunted landscape/s wants to encounter these landscapes, experience them, understand the material, changes, connections, histories and myths of different terrains and translate them into choreographic performative work or installative formats. encounters with and narratives of places become choreographies, lecture performances or installations. movements become performative condensations in dialogue with relics or witnesses and ghosts of the landscapes visited. voices of human and non-human inhabitants become scenic events, perhaps even choirs. |
