‘Becoming Sky, becoming Earth, I recognize ‘us’, the interconnected multitude of mortals and immortals. I recognize my belonging to a community, to a myriad of communities, humans, non-humans and ultra-humans.’ - Baracchi
In this research, Paola explores the meeting point as an in-between space. Her practice delves into a dynamic interplay of inheriting and relaunching images, where bodily recalibrations occur in response to others. In this composition, the performer navigates how to become continuity within herself and in relation to her surroundings.
It is an invitation to meet: ‘’between me and you there is a grey area, a space full of materializing possibilities which craft and dismantle, shine and dim, celebrate and forget the notion of meeting.’’
