OTEMPODIZ

You have the clock, we have the time

In Western culture, there’s the feeling that time is counted, measured, bought and sold, planned and organized. In Africa, the notion of time is that of an experience that people live and create, something subjective. Our birthplace inevitably defines our idea of time, and even if nothing is set, we struggle to overcome our first notion about it. It’s an idea that can be experienced in many ways, one can even be enslaved by it, but denying its existence is impossible. This is true for any land of the world. Time is the power that allow a body to dance, aside from the origin, the gender, or the condition. "OTEMPODIZ" (ELTIEMPODICE) [Time says] is the outcome of an exchange project and of a two-way artistic creation, spanning Mozambique and Spain. It’s been made possible thanks to the support of: AECID, the artistic residence of SORTUTAKOAK (Gipuzkoako Dantzagunea), the festival ATLANTIKALDIA in Errenteria.
