Free Time (working title)

‘Free Time’ (working title) grows from my reading ‘The Life of Plants’ by Emanuele Coccia. This poetic and philosophical essay seizes the point of view of plants to understand the world not as a simple collection of objects, but as a space of metaphysical interaction where all living beings share the same breath.
Following this hypothesis, the theatrical space, the performers and the audience are also part of this huge cell. In circulating, one influences, transforms and defines the other continuously.
‘Free Time’ will investigate these bodies in their impermanent, interdependent, porous and shareable nature.
