Text, Technology, and Dramaturgy: Radical Empathy

All our realities are just something that we created with language by telling ourselves stories.

Propositions for co-existence – sharing our movements, exploring the liminal and center spaces. To link, to question, and to (re)establish collective memories to specific habitats; to write and rewrite our histories, and to insert evidence of coexistence into existence.

Our minimal volume is the volume of our human bodies. But we are also social spaces – congregations of many. We take place when our bodies, directed in space, perform – as dance; as ritual; as fun; as prayer; as sacrilege: as purification; as… anything you feel.

Viola Gasparotti and Tomáš Danielis / Radical Empathy are exploring the joy and pitfalls of co-existence – a topic quickly becoming an urgent one for contemporary societies.
