Description

A danced fable that moves backward to rethink the future, exploring the relationship between humanity and the ecosystem through hybrid bodies and urgent questions.

Synopsis

Walking Backwards constructs a fable, a possible history of movement, by taking a walk in reverse, moving backward while facing forward. It traces a path toward the future while looking at the past, reflecting on the invasive and pervasive nature of the human species—one that exploits the Earth’s resources as capital, leading to the depletion of the ecosystem.

 

This danced fable evokes an ecosystem inhabited by hybrid and symbiotic beings, whose allegorical and visual character reflects and generates possible perspectives on the future. It also raises questions such as: What is your environment? What is your horizon? What do you discover when you walk? What does the future tell you?
