Km.0

 

Km.0 is a stage project which researches on the land through the journey and its drifts, as a form of discovery and transformation of the travelling bodies. On translating it to the stage, memories and places take shape. They are revisited through movements, words and images.

 

The performance gathers a series of lived events, linked to different spots within the Iberian Peninsula. We move and make “marks” on the borders of the land surrounding us. The border is a ‘moving limit’, as Careri would put it. So, there we go with our bodies crossing borders, building and deconstructing landmarks, marking the soil and narrating the way our trajectory transforms our bodies. We recount, sing and dance it. It’s a story of travelling and directions, of taking a path and walk it, hope in our hands, and from Madrid we head South, West –Portugal, to the East –Valencia, and reach Island in a conditional future. We thus trace a map which is not defined by cartographic borders but by fragments, sort of archaeology of spaces and experiences, the beat of a land, of those little choreographies which transform spaces through their heartbeats. An emotional map gathering that which does not fit in maps or guides.
