“Wreck” | Pietro Marullo (Italy, Lithuania) | Zapyškis
“WRECK-List of extinct species” is an interdisciplinary performance mixing movement, sound, and visual art circling around the metaphor of a shipwreck. A huge soft black plastic sculpture, inflated with air, moves through the space. This abstract object has very evocative power. It is a hunter, swallowing and spitting human beings. It could be considered an allegory of Leviathans or the old myths of deep-sea monsters. At the same time, it works as a metaphor for Capitalism and the human conditions within. The community on stage faces a massive catastrophe that will produce their own extinction. The performance creators aim to approach choreographic questions through a different art field and produce a new and original language. By inverting the relationship between the choir and its landscape, it is possible to write a partition for a soft sculpture. By manipulating this object, geometric forms appear that allows us a new way of investigating the presence of performers on stage.
