Performance, 25 min
2019

Two
performers slowly cross a public area. As if they were searching for something in
an
obviously empty ground, the performers unfold physical
possibilities of crawling and dragging techniques used in
fire fighting, following a choreographed circuit in the space.
Their movements - executed in slow and
controlled pace - could relate either to the imaginary of rescuing
procedures or to the imminence (and the subsequence) of
an environmental accident. The actions carried throughout the performance intend to
stretch this ambiguous and calm atmosphere to the limit by
never reaching a climax or a situation of increased intensity. While most is seen by distance, the performance is
followed by an audio piece in which a narrator reflects on
physical, architectonic and technological movements inside
hypothetical fire accidents - from climate change provoking
uncontrollable forest fires to thermal surveillance cameras
adapted to IPhones. The text is composed by scientific
articles, newspaper headlines, memes and anonymous
comments left on Internet forums. They all relate to real fires
happened in 2018, although no explicit reference is made.
