VANITAS 3 - Marte (4 channels, 37 Min, live performance)
Vanitas Marte is the third part of the Vanitas trilogy, dedicated to the relationships between the body and its environment.
Following the body-forest and body-city research, this third part opens a shift towards Mars. The body becomes territory, and territory becomes a material to explore, through the encounter between bodies, landscapes, and the imaginaries that traverse them.
In Vanitas 2, the male body already appeared as a landscape traversed by the city. Vanitas Marte continues this research by bringing the two bodies together and projecting them towards another territory: the red planet.
The journey to Mars thus becomes a way of extending the research into the relationships between body, environment, and territory. What happens to a body when it encounters another world? What kind of corporeality could emerge on Mars? What forms, energies, and intensities might arise from this encounter?
Vanitas Marte proposes a dance of anticipation, above all a sensory journey, in which the body allows itself to be affected by an imagined environment. The research thus explores a way of “becoming Mars”: allowing the body to enter into relation with the conditions, materials, and imaginaries of another planet.
The Vanitas trilogy progressively constructs this shift: from body and forest to body and city, and then from body-territory to body-planet. Through these transformations, the project explores the ways in which bodies inhabit their environments and, in turn, are transformed by them.
