CRATERA

19 April 2024 | Sismògraf, Olot, Espanha

Closely following the proposals of Geopoetics and other authors who bring the debate of ecological issues to a more micro level, linked to the subjects, their sensibility and imagination, CRATERA wants to look for intense experiences of connection with the earth that claim other forms of language and lucidity.

The volcanic landscape, due to its strong telluric dimension and proximity to the pulse and breathing of the earth, is the chosen territory of investigation, having been decided to focus the research and part of the creation process on the island of Fogo, in Cape Verde. The imagery associated with volcanoes is immense and poetically very strong and, in this time when the earth is seething and boiling, we want to evoke it and get to know it up close.

Beginning, end, deep, archaic. Explosive, intense, passionate, fruitful and at the same time devastating. The idea of a cup, a womb, a space more or less protected from rumours, foreign languages, and timeless imagery, has something mythical and fantastic that seduces us. In landscape dramaturgy, we are interested in working on the encounter between topographic breath, ethnofiction and the biographical archives inscribed in the body of each one.

The project has a strong transdisciplinary dimension, with the aim of developing work based on interwoven dialogues between dance, theatre, sound and video.
