O POÇO is a machine that operates on vertical agents, harboring and articulating gesture, sound and light in its acoustic and architectural configuration.
A black box where traces of words and actions sustain a landscape made out of ruins of nexus, membranes, language and substrates. The pre-linguistic impetuses of the voice, the crystallization of action, and the vertigo of the perspective arise as the only temporal mediators of a moving landscape. An echo chamber.
Vertical stage piece for 3 performers, 2 bikers, 40 teenagers, 3 tons of rubber, 16.2 vertical sound system
