WRECK - List of extinct species is an interdisciplinary performance mixing movement, sound and visual art circling around the metaphor of a shipwreck. A huge soft black plastic sculpture, inflated with air, moves through the space, adopting various forms of power thanks to its massive and imposing yet abstract form. It´s a hunter, swallowing and spitting human beings, akin to Leviathans or the old myths of deep-sea monsters. Simultaneously, it is a metaphor for Capitalism and the human conditions within.
As the community on stage is grapples with a huge catastrophe that will produce their own extinction, new and original languages of movement will be born through an atypical approach to choreographic questions utilising different art fields.
Outdoor performance of WRECK, Lithuania, 2022
By inverting the relationship between the choir and its landscape, it is possible to write a partition for a soft sculpture. By manipulating this object, geometric forms appear that allow an opportunity for explorations and investigations into the presence of performers on stage, thus putting movement and visual art in dialogue.
Concept, choreography and direction: Pietro Marullo
