SHAN SHUI
2020
PERFORMANCE ONLINE | EDURNE RUBIO & MARÍA JEREZ
"Shan Shui" is the Chinese word for landscape and means mountain water. The mountain and water unite creating clouds of mist. The mist is the representation of the void and in the void, everything fits and everything is possible. In this performance, commissioned by BE FESTIVAL for last years BEatHome Festival, the artists paint a landscape without paintings from the emptiness of confinement.
Shan Shui takes audiences on a wander through an imaginary landscape, transcending the limitations of confinement and the impossibility of contact with nature during lockdown.
