(Creation Residence - Associate Project 2015 )
L'animal a l'esquena (Celrà)
From 22/06/2015 to 01/07/2015

( Neus Villà, Leo Castro )
Plants and Pavements is an exploration of the immediacy, durability and perserverence of the image, seeking to break with expectations; at the same time it takes care to move forwards without pinning down any understanding of the meanings of the actions and images involved, with the aim of immersing itself in suggestiveness and respecting its own drama.
De acelgas y aceras (Plants and Pavements – literally “Swiss Chards and Pavements”) is a research project that has been developed in stages as part of the programme of residencies at L’animal a l’esquena. It has received support from Mal Pelo and the research and creation grants programme of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
Under the title Ji Gou (Plants and Pavements), it was made in collaboration with Janet Novás, a Galician performer and creator based in Madrid. In 2015 it will be made in collaboration with Leo Castro.
“It has come from seeking and capturing an ephemeral space created by presences in constant search of comfort.
How to succeed in being a nomad without ending up in exile?
It is territory that does nothing but generate questions.
Plants and Pavements is expecting a change of name.
It is a journey through a landscape full of cables and of the present.
It does not set out to tell any story.”
