18.015 g/mol

AVAILABLE FOR TOURING

​

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.
