Stealth is a way to breathe deeply
by Israel Martínez
Performance: 02. Juni um 19:00
A performative lecture based on children’s games, aural dusts, silence capsules, sound choreographies and notes on stealth.
Why do we often have a negative conception of silence when it can be a bridge to our quietness and a starting point for respect and dialogue with Mother Nature and our communities? Image credits: Israel Martínez
