The First Failure of My Horizon into Your Bones
The First Failure of My Horizon into Your Bones
A stage work giving form to the connection between movement, physical systems and experiences of disorientation.
Through a physical-choreographic language that evolves throughout the piece, simple actions — such as running, spinning, and responding to material — function as ignition points: catalysts for spatial movement, systemic disruption, and transformations of matter.
The stage performs as a poetic laboratory: a table whose color reflects the room’s temperature, a machine that operates according to quantum principles — a tuning device that is also a source of confusion.
The work generates alternative configurations of time and space, where human objects organize themselves according to shifting gravitational forces — both high and low.
The horizon is not a human convention, but an ongoing experiment within a calibrated environment — an active field of relations, where cooperation emerges in alternative forms.
