Terra Nullius
Audiowalk – Listening and walking experience · Deutschlandpremiere
by
Paula Diogo
In the frame of FEMINIST FUTURES WEEKEND
«Terra Nullius» is a performative audiowalk that tries to capture the experience of a distant place. For a year, Portuguese performer Paula Diogo was in Reykjavik developing a project that combined personal and collective narratives. Her process was founded on two simple actions: walking and writing.
This performance overflows the space of the theatre, occupying both the city’s physical space and a virtual space of discussion. It is a vast sound tapestry that crosses geographies, placing them in dialogue with each new city it arrives in.
For each location, a route is drawn to create an overlap with the pre-existing audio track. The audience is then invited to walk through the city in a group experience, ending with the solitary reading of the book TN, which each audience member takes home.
We recommend comfortable clothes and shoes and the willingness to walk a longer distance.
