The Breath of the World
22.08 — 23.08.2023
Description
The new choreographic work The Breath of the World by Mariela Nestora / YELP Dance Co. focuses on breathing as an experiential relationship of the body with the world. In a climate-changing world, plants are our most important co-habitants. Our relationship with them is based on reciprocity. We breathe in the oxygen they exhale and they inhale the oxygen we breathe out. How can we reinforce the ecological affinities that cultivate the concepts of care and reciprocity?
Three dancers and three musicians weave together a creative project that brings out breathing as a biological, psychological, existential and spiritual crossroads, while exploring ways to co-exist and interact with different bodies. The world’s breathing is timed with sunset, it awakens empathy and highlights every audience member’s unique perception. The performance’s ephemeral “organism” becomes perceived as part of another greater ecosystem, while the world’s breathing mechanism becomes activated as an experience but also as a gathering of different species.
