AzkonaToloza
Situated somewhere between the Mediterranean Sea, the Pyrenees and the Atacama Desert, Laida Azkona Goñi and Txalo Toloza-Fernández are a couple of artists dedicated to creating living arts projects.
Interested in the endless possibilities of poetry and visual anthropology, lo-fi video creativity, performance and movement, their latest creations focus on reinterpreting official history and documentary creativity intended for the stage. Taking the stage to mean anything from an opera house auditorium to the immensity of a salt pan high on a plateau.
Among other theatres and festivals, their work has featured at the Grec Festival and Festival Sâlmon de Artes Vivas in Barcelona, Thèâtre de la Ville and Festival d’Automne in Paris, Thèâtre Garonne in Toulouse, KVS in Brussels, EuroSzene in Leipzig, La Bâtie Festival in Geneva, FIAC in Salvador de Bahia, Festival Mirada de Santos in Sao Paulo, Museo Universitario del Chopo in Mexico City, Romaeuropa Festival in Rome, Festival Internacional in Buenos Aires, Fitei Digital in Porto, Salón Nacional de Artistas de Colombia in Bogotá, Naves Matadero and Teatro Español in Madrid, NAVE in Santiago de Chile, Escena Abierta in Burgos and Temporada Alta in Girona.
OUR GALACTIC CAMP
Sharing wisdom. Sharing knowledge. Sharing questions. Sharing desires. Sharing ideas. Sharing the strategies we need to imagine other realities, other futures.
But how do we do it? Where do we start?
So, what if we turned those lengths of elastic we have tucked away in our store room into a safe space in which to meet?
And what if we constructed an ephemeral refuge in which to think about our planet? About its present and its future.
And what if, just for a few hours, we turned a piece of the school playground into a forum in which to dream up new strategies to allow us to rethink our relationship with nature?
A place to let us imagine and dream of other possible futures for Planet Earth.
To let us dream of ourselves.
