Renae Shadler: UNDER MY GAZE

Valendas, Altaun – GPS: 46.78789, 9.28250
The performance took place on September 15 as part of the village fest in Valdenas. > FLYER

Our ecosystem depends on the Sun that gazes upon the Earth creating and destroying life. The performance is a ritual for our times created together with Aerocene  Foundation – a sculpture inflated by air, carried by wind and lifted only when  touched by the rays of the sun. Bodies and voices pulse with the gravitational pull and combustive power of this solar giant. The sculpture gives a body to the unseen forces that surround us, connecting Earth-bound dancers to aerial and cosmic worlds. After the show artists offer a workshop about dancing with the atmosphere. (JL)
