Siamo lieti di presentare, in collaborazione con il Festival BASTARD – Trondheim International Performing Arts Festival 2025 e Rosendal Teater lo spettacolo “Darkness Picnic” con la compagnia italiana DOM-.
A picnic on the edge of the night, a temporary bivouac for nocturnal stories. Interweaving research around the gesture of walking and nomadism with the theme of the gentle inhabitation of public space, this site-specific work by DOM- invites the public to a collective exercise of rest and suspension.
When night falls, the clocks stop, perception dilates, and the landscape emanates indecipherable messages, languid as the heat rises from the ground as moisture descends from the sky and tree trunks. The muslin robes settle on the grass and dark rocks, someone walks away. Nature then reveals itself in its full seductive power, calling bodies to itself, inviting them to stop and lose themselves, emitting an irresistible call to go further, to cross the threshold between dreaming and waking.
A cry to the edge of an experience from which one does not return – or if one does return, one does not have the words to recount it.
