Moni Wespi is looking for performers for her performance Slowed Landscapes during Theater op de Markt. Slowed Landscapes will be a moving installation with audience participation. The performance aims to explore the power of slowness and camouflage through performative, in situ and participatory installations. Just like an exhibition, you are invited to visit, stay or leave at any time, wander around, sit and enjoy or participate and live the experience for yourself. Become part of this very slowly evolving picture.

Blending the human body back into its environment: public urban space, nature or interior situations. The idea is to place the human in a less dominant position, increase awareness and propose action by slowing down and listening to the body and environment. Questioning the hierarchy that has existed for centuries and the speed of daily life that we impose on ourselves. How do you become a stone? Just being there.. How to become moss, cover surfaces, breathe. Breathe like a tree? Dried grass, dormant nature? Take a break. Stop and listen, as an animal would. The courage to stand still.

More information and images of Slowed Landscapes can be found here.
