Project: Triptic 00
Category: Performance, Visual Poetry, Video
Period: Setembro 2006
Event: "Nodar Pushing the Medium #2" Symposium

The idea behind this project is the adaptation to Nodar of another similar project that was planned to be developed in a larger scale in Valença do Minho, Portugal.

Duration: 3 days. (Each part is developed in each one of those days).

First part: Visual Poetry
During this first day, the scenery=village is prepared for the later passage. Some spaces are modified, others are adapted. Visual poetry in different locations of the village.

Second part: Passage
A small map of Nodar is created with the passage to follow that day. At this stage, small actions based on the ritual of burial, marriage, birth are performed in diferent locations. For this it was necessary to choose strategical points where these actions happen.

In one of the stoppings the inhabitants of the village are invited to the joint creation of a sound poem based on the sounds of their childhood and another one, that contrasts with the previous one, on the sounds that they listen nowadays.

Third part: Remains / Desolation
There is nothing but remains and desolation. The voices of the inhabitants of Nodar sound. The previous day’s recording is played.
