In association with Brazilian artists Rita Aquino and Felipe de Assis and Swiss artists BALESTRA | CARDELLINI | GONZALEZ, Marina Quesada and Paula Baró founded "Colectivo'' Utópico, which seeks to question the way our north-south societies are shaped by past and present utopias.
Together they offer the audience performative micro-experiences that aim to shift the gaze from the everyday to experiencing alternative ways of being together. Developed during residencies in each of their countries, these forms are conceived as gateways to a new understanding of the way we live in the world today and the relationships to others that this entails.
Production: Plataforma LODO -Argentina-, 7oito Produções -Brazil-, and K7 Productions -Switzerland- | Support: Programa Iberescena, Instituto Proteatro, Instituto Prodanza, Centro Cultural 25 de Mayo, Centro Cultural Recoleta, Goethe Institute Bahía | Driven by the Swiss foundation for the culture Pro Helvetia through of its program COINCIDENCIA -Swiss & South American Cultural Exchanges-
Colectivo Utópico busca cuestionar la forma en que nuestras sociedades norte-sur están conformadas por utopías pasadas y presentes. Juntos ofrecen a la audiencia micro experiencias performativas que tienen como objetivo cambiar la mirada de lo cotidiano y experimentar formas alternativas de estar juntos. Desarrolladas durante las residencias en cada uno de sus países, estas formas se conciben como puertas a una nueva comprensión de la forma en que vivimos en el mundo de hoy y las relaciones con los demás que esto conlleva.
