Of Crying Stones
In “Of Crying Stones,” the performers descend into the political dimensions of depression: within the installation-like spatial situation, the eight bodies make themselves and their environment vibrate in order to destigmatize the shame associated with vulnerable existence. Anxiety and lightness collide here, to explore new visions for dealing with perceived emptiness, wounds, and traumas. Through collected practices of care, affection, responsibility, respect, commitment, and trust, a network of relationships is created, forming a temporary but forward-thinking community of both spectators and performers.
