The wall as a fracture that divides space and interrupts our daily routine it’s a way of talking about all of us

, the isolation we live in, the possibilities of imagining and acting a future in a such complex and challenging time.

The wall as a state of non-comfort, an inability to see and move, can become an opportunity to stop, pause, slow down, reflect, wonder on one hand and to return to sensitivity, touching, imagining on the other.

What’s beyond the wall?

Muro murmullo, muro oreja, muro vaso comunicante. Muro amortiguado, sugerente, los espacios que se rellenan, la posibilidad de la invención, la sospecha del mensaje trastocado. El muro murmullo que acerca pero nunca es transparente.

a wall ceases to be a wall when it is horizontal
a body is a body and does not depend on
whether it is positioned horizontally
or vertically
rain does not exist horizontally

on the other side -of the wall-
things have no shadow, they’re just very big
but they are not scary
what is scary is the shadow of things,
not the things themselves

on this side I don’t jump anymore
you realize that on this side there is no sound anymore
or maybe we just stop talking to learn how to cry better

you realize that this side is not horizontal
you realize that on this side you can no longer stand upright
that everything falls except the desire to make war

what is the other side if not the vulnerability of falling asleep?
because on the other side there is no sound
that’s why before we fall asleep our body takes a jump
because there is a small fall in order to be vulnerable

here even the sound changes
your house is a wall made country

all I need are four walls
to die and make my body the first species in this greenhouse that will grow for a year

on the other side of the dream there is a wall with your life painted on it,
by the hands of children who are your children
in a future without water.

not to sleep is to cling to the body

i have two bodies and when i sleep i have to leave one at home
and look for the other
that went to the yard and jumped over the wall and now it’s in the neighbor’s house
every day i have to bring it home
put him to bed
kiss him on the forehead

The first brick is always the tongue.

Hay otra persona preguntándose lo mismo.

C’è un’altra persona che si chiede la stessa cosa.

There is someone else wondering the same thing.

Al di là del muro ci può essere il tuo passato, spesso il tuo futuro.
C’è qualcosa che allontani, spesso che non conosci.
E come tutte le cose che non si conoscono, fa paura.
Al di là del muro c’è solo il coraggio di chi è al di qua e abbraccia il mutare delle forme, sapendo che perfino quel muro così imponente e irremovibile si trasformerà un giorno in qualcos’altro.

Oltre il muro c’è una ragazza dai capelli lunghissimi sparati nel vento, capelli che prendono tutte le direzioni. E’ li fuori immobile, luminosissima e ti guarda e tu, La vedi.
E’ libera da un peso millenario, da un lockdown secolare che l’ha rinchiusa in casa, regina del focolare ma esclusa da ogni forma di decisione politica, che riguardi il suo corpo o la collettività la sua voce inascoltata o silenziata.
La sua liberazione è l’inizio di un cambiamento che il mondo ha urgenza di promuovere, la rivoluzione che libera i corpi di tutte e di tutti, l’uscita dall’isolamento che ha trasformato ogni esser umano in consumatore solitario e inappagato di un mondo malato.

Beyond the wall there is a girl with very long hair, blowing in the wind, taking all directions. She is out there motionless, very bright and she looks at you and you see her.
She is free from a millenary weight, from a centuries-old lockdown that has locked her up in her home, queen of the houseold but excluded from any form of political or decision-making, whether it concerns her body or the community, her voice remains unheard or silenced. Her liberation is the beginning of a change that the world urgently needs to promote; the revolution that liberates the bodies of all and everyone, the release from the isolation that have transformed every human being into a solitary and unfulfilled consumer of a sick world.

Detrás del muro hay una leve y temblorosa esperanza de transformación del mundo. Una llama que hay que mantener encendida trabajando, haciendo, actuando en lo pequeño, en lo cercano para que, si somos muchos, eso cercano y pequeño vibre y se amplifique y llegue a todos lados. Mucha gente, grano a grano, partícula a partícula podremos derribar el muro y caminar hacia un mundo más justo, más equitativo y más bello que se sostenga en el cuidado de la vida, en el cuidado de la naturaleza y en el agradecimiento a ella porque por ella vivimos.

Behind the wall there is a slight and trembling hope for the transformation of the world. A flame that must be kept burning by working, doing, acting in the small, in the closer so that, if we are many, that close and small vibrates and amplifies and reaches everywhere. Many people, grain by grain, particle by particle, we will be able to tear down the wall and walk towards a more just, more equitable and more beautiful world that is sustained in the care of life, in the care of nature and in gratitude to her because we live for her.

E SE DIETRO IL MURO CI FOSSE UNA PRESENZA CHE SI CHIAMA SILENZIO? o PAROLA? creatura vivente in fortezza sigillata dal mistero. libera ri percorrere il mondo, coccolata, tradita, violentata, mortificata. Spesso abusata. Nasce quando sente fi essere accolta come voce di autenticità in uno spazio dove il corpo sta in ascolto. Una parola sola, muro, (bravi) da consegnare alla voce, alla musica (Stefano) Pennellata di esistenza nel cielo danzato (Sara),

Sto ancora scalando ma oltre non si scorgono confini …la domanda che ci si deve porre e’: come scendo dal muro? Penso che lo faro’ danzando sulle note di un contrabbasso…

Wall Dialogue Resistance

THE CONCEPT

_______________________________________________________________

The project uses the image of the wall, both a physical and mental limit, as a practical and symbolic guide to an open creative process with the aim to develop a participatory and interdisciplinary performance-format that can creatively elaborate the encounter with a territory and its inhabitants. At the basis of the project there is a question that connects it to the present: what’s beyond the wall? what’s beyond a limit? Limit as a state of interruption of everyday time and space, which we all had experienced during the pandemic as separation and isolation.

Like a vision or an act of imagination needed, in order to go beyond something, the wall could also be interpreted as an opportunity: a condition not sufficient but necessary to let a different perspective emerge supporting a real change. And the project aims to explore this perspective through artistic research that involves our moving-sensing bodies.

The participatory character of the project is realized during a residence time through serious-ludic actions: 1_ a movement-sound workshop revealing that the strongest limitation are the invisibles and embodied ones: space position, postures, ways of speaking and gestures where pre-judges and values are hidden (stay right as a self-made man!) 2_ an open-air appointment to play a game in a public space (1,2,3 Stella) 3_ a final performance.

All these activities are followed by different audio-visual project outputs to let a resonance of the occurred encounters appear and to reinforce an ongoing connection between different territories and people beyond any kind of walls and limits.

THE PROJECT DESIGN

_______________________________________________________________________________

The project WALL DIALOGUE RESISTANCE, co-funded by the European Union within the Creative Europe programme, led by Teatro di Sardegna as main partner and with the artistic direction of Il Cantiere, aims to recreate a different way of experiencing public space through direct and indirect involvement of the audience in the creative process, describing a landscape and a community through a contemporary interdisciplinary narrative. The project wants to stimulate the dialogue / participation / interaction of European citizens through a human site-specific participatory approach to the creation in performing arts, to apply the creative process for overcoming separations from each other, and to disseminate a methodological creative format to make culture more inclusive.

The structure unfolds through five artistic residencies hosted by the partners involved and realized through a single journey linking them all, which takes place from August 21^st to October 1^st 2022. The residencies will use action tools such as workshops, thinking laboratories and the popular crossnational game.

Each residence will end with a PERFORMANCE as a collective emotional experience of a common space. After this, a period of reworking and post-production of the multimedia and textual contents produced will follow, and it will include a FILM, a PODCAST, a GRAPHIC STORYTELLING and a PERFORMANCE FORMAT.

The project focuses on the open process, emphasizing the work of questioning and research, on the eco-sustainability and the human impact that will resonate with the people of the four Mediterranean countries involved: Italy, France, Spain and Portugal.
