Interspecies communication is a chapter of DOUZE MILLE VINGT, a project conceptualising a utopian landscape in which non verbal communication between species would prevail. The global project includes an exhibition, concerts, performances and workshops.
Based on the artist’s recurrent research, TWELVE THOUSAND TWENTY is part of an ongoing work process on sound frequencies and their field of application. Between dance and happening, Interspecies communication embodies a form of non-verbal communication: movement, gaze and breath unite the performers in an intense communion, drawing the audience into their inner resonance.
