We would like the audience to access the space of the Serra Tropicale (the Tropical Greenhouse) — remote, beautiful and humid — in small groups, moving through it along a path already present in situ, one that returns them to the outside after a few minutes. In this way, what can be glimpsed inside will not be a closed performance, but an atmospheric suggestion dense with ungraspable information: a fleeting glance at a series of displaced activities, bodily ceremonies and mysterious articulations that seem to ignore one another, scattered as they are among the cascade of plants.
We entrust these migrations of meaning and physical meteorologies to the appearance of singular bodies, which we ardently wish to be part of the fabric of the festival, beyond any individual signature.
