1 performer, 1 white sheet, 1 tear. These are the basic ingredients for the meditative Paper Lane.

For this wordless performance, Olga de Soto drew inspiration from Hartmut Rosa’s theory on the need to slow down and a gesture used by Sophie Whettnall on some of her works with paper. The result: the uninterrupted, very precise tearing of a long strip of paper. The slowness and precision immerse you completely in the current moment. This act of rebellion against an ever-faster evolving society makes you stop and think about the simplicity of movements and natural materials. A performance that straddles the line between meditation and manifestation and which invites visitors to push the pause button.
