Extreme lands
This performance is the outcome of a 7-day group investigation aimed at ideas related to extreme lands and remote areas. Situated at the southern tip of east Italy on the Mediterranean, Gagliano del Capo poses as an ideal location for participants of the Default 19 Residency to contribute to an investigation of the extreme land. The project will investigate geographic dislocation as a socio-anthropological characteristic embedded in extreme territories. It confronts challenges, particularly relating to climate and environmental conditions, as a means to explore diverse interpretations of human and natural landscapes.
A place where it might to explore ideas of how we can bring space back into play - at the Cape, are we at the end or the beginning?
Are we in the outskirts of Europe or center of
the Mediterranean? - it is possible to renegotiate the notion of time: a radically slow time in which, paradoxically, the
time of functional production becomes potentially unproductive and dysfunctional, like doing something that leads to nothing.
What is it about human
beings that makes us want to see the unseen?”
