Pieces of Earth

A performance that uses space as a living observer of time’s flow. Three generations of performers symbolize the past, present, and future on both a real and an imaginary time horizon. They interact in a shared space, shaping and changing it, adding or destroying elements. Time is observed through the earth and the surrounding space. Music is added as a fundamental component of the performance to play the role of time and directly and substantially affect the events. The live music converses with the movements of the performers, both moulding and being moulded by their actions. The performance structure is based on philosophical Taoism, introducing an additional central axis, alongside the temporal one, into the stage space, choreography, and dramaturgy.
