Mertesger listens to earth I (Performance in Tétouan, Morocco 2015)

Re-listening, Reviewing and Speaking Again

This project is based on a subjective approach that tries to open a new perspective on the interactions between the inside and the outside, in a space-time based on two pillars in opposition. The first pillar as the inside representative of the soul while the second as the outside representation, namely the public space. We have entitled them as the following:

•    Re-listening to the inner silence and outer movement.

•    Review how to build the relationship with the other? What happens when we trust the outside world while we are focusing on ourselves in a public space ?

•    To speak again to others and to a public space, in a dialogue which alternates between silence and chatting.

The choice of this place is justified by the fact that it is very frequented by the inhabitants of the city of Tétouan. It is a fairly busy central street, which has the advantage of being devoid of signs making reference to a particular city. As a result, the impact of performance on the audience will be accentuated in to the extent that the Latter will face a "foreign body", in a space that is familiar to them.
