Wasteland is a duet.Begins as a physical intervention of a body in another and an awareness of two bodies in the same space. We’ve started to see the expressive, never ending language of the body, becoming avoided, transforming itself in a ‘dumpster’ territory where the body is easily abandoned and forgotten.We gave ourselves the responsibility to create concurrency and tune between two bodies that can easily dive into physical confrontation.We challenge ourselves trying to remember again the pleasure of discovering where the creative body takes part on the game of the creative process. We found a body becoming a instrument of abstract speech and the process becoming a poetic unfolding of the body.
