18.015 is a 55 min ecological, multidisciplinary dance work and immersive installation that makes the audience dive into a temporal and metaphorical journey where tradition and technological evolution are interlaced.
This quartet overlays the metamorphic journey of a viscous mass transitioning from an atomic state to an animal, then to a human, and finally to a robot, alongside that of a child-oracle, the Guardian of Water. Her innocence, simplicity, and poetic presence evoke a sacred connection to ancestral and traditional knowledge, while also embodying hope for the future in an uncertain world.
Blending engineering with cutting-edge technology, the stage space progressively shifts, highlighting a hybrid, plastic-infused scenography and live sound captures. Drawing inspiration from metaphorical images, I introduce futuristic climate catastrophes. From a storm of plastic-hybrid vines to a forest fire, culminating in a torrential downpour of plastic bottles, 18.015 conveys, through its intensity, the material and mental overload of our accelerated society, increasingly disconnected from its ecosystem.
At the end of the performance, 18.015 transforms into an installation: the audience is invited to navigate the set and experience firsthand the mortuary-like, devastated space. Small ecological artworks hidden within the set can only be discovered through this immersive experience.
Cultural Mediation: A workshop for children and families offers an opportunity to explore our relationship with water and our place within the ecosystem. Whenever possible, a child from the workshop will be invited to participate in the performance, embodying the role of the child-oracle.
