Performance-duo QUARTO will share some of the work and practices they have developed in the context of the ROPE-series over the past ten years. You will be dealing with the rope as an emblem, as a riddle and a problem, collectively encountering its qualities and dealing with its entanglements.
About
These are some of the questions that will be addressed: How do you untie a huge knot collectively? What happens with the limits between bodies and objects when dealing with a very long rope? What kind of collective and personal memories pass through our bodies when we start manipulating the rope?
Between manipulation and being exposed to the rope’s very own dynamic, a particular kind of body emerges, a body that is situated between different cultures, languages and realities; a body that carries the experience of the moment, memories of the past and imaginations and fictions of an encounter yet- to-come.
The workshop is open to all.
