Eho Animato. In a blink

Catastrophe can be personal or collective; an abrupt act of violence or a longer process of decay; human-induced or natural disaster. It is a total change of paradigm, something that challenges everything we know in the blink of an eye. Catastrophe is no longer a surprise, it is the state of the world, it is what we expect – pandemics, devastating wars, hideous displays of aggression, floods, wildfires, etc. But how does soil/body/mind react?

Devised theater performance with the working title In a Blink focuses on a moment in which recovery begins, the ambivalent moment where healing starts, still interwoven and inseparable from the catastrophic event. By stretching this moment, the performance aims to explore how grief and growth intertwine in complex ways. It searches for the origin of biological, psychological, societal, and environmental resilience. ​
