DARKNESS PIC-NIC
DOM- (IT)
2024 special project
A pic-nic at twilight, a temporary camp for nocturnal storytelling.
The study of the intertwine between walking and nomadism and permanency and transitory living of the public space, lead to the creation of this site-specific work, in which Dom- invites the audience to a collective deed of rest and suspension.
When night falls, clocks stop, perception fades, the landscape sends out indecipherable messages that are as languid as the heat that rises from the ground, while the moistness comes down from the sky and the tree trunks.
The muslin clothes lay on the grass and on dark rocks, somebody walks away. Then nature appears in all its seductive drive, it draws the bodies inviting them to get lost, it sends out an irresistible call to go further, to cross the line between sleeping and waking. A cry on the threshold of an experience from which there’s no turning back, or if there is, there are no words to describe it.
A film set en plain air will welcome the audience around a secret, around what’s left of a disappearance.
