This is a theatre/performance project developed within the Surge Madrid 2024 Festival.
This piece, created by Carlotta Storelli, Salomé Méndez Morales and Fernando Fernández Sánchez, reflects on the resurgence of life and on other ways in which the environment can renew itself, interact and live together; it is a tribute to the strength and the transformative power that emerges from the fusion of the natural and what is created by human beings.
In this piece, plants are co-creators of the work, performing the soundtrack created live and modifying the digital environments.
The stage design is created digitally through projections of point clouds, of real spaces previously digitised, which transport the audience to different oneiric spaces in which the work unfolds.
The work was premiered on 3 and 4 October 2024 at Sala Tarambana, in Carabanchel, Madrid, as part of the 2024 edition of the Surge Madrid festival.
Synopsis
In a post-apocalyptic setting, after a devastating storm that has transformed the world as we know it, life begins to be reborn in unexpected ways. An electro-organic creature that arises from the fusion of technology and nature, an entity that embodies the symbiosis between the organic and the mechanical, seeks to recover the missing pieces of its own being.
DRIADI is a poetic, visual and sound interspecies journey, in which different non-human organisms are co-creators of the piece; of the soundtrack and of the visuals generated live, creating new symbiotic ecosystems.
This work weaves a narrative that invites us to reflect on the rebirth of life and the new ways in which the environment can regenerate, communicate and coexist, a tribute to the resilience and the transformative power of harmony between the natural and the artificial.
