Terra Nullius
TERRA NULLIUS is a performative audio walk that tries to capture the experience of a distant place, inviting the audience to walk through the city in a group experience. For each new location a path is drawn in the city to create an overlap with a previously adapted audio track. This experience concludes with the solitary reading of the book TERRA NULLIUS, which each audience member can take home.
Terra Nullius was a term created by international law to define territories that belonged to no one and could therefore be occupied. It also evokes an unexplored territory, an oasis of freedom where one could start over and rethink society.
TERRA NULLIUS is a performative audio walk that evokes the experience of a distant place. For a year, Paula Diogo was in Reykjavik developing a project that tried to capture an ‘experience of place’ by combining it with personal and collective narratives.
TERRA NULLIUS is a performance that strives to overflow the space of the theatre, occupying the city’s geography and the virtual space of discussion and thought. For each new location a path is drawn in the city to create an overlap with a previously adapted audio track. The public is invited to walk through the city in a group experience.
We recommend the use of comfortable clothes and shoes and availability to walk. and availability to walk. The walk is about 5 km.
This project is part of the European programme apap – FEMINIST FUTURES, a project co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union
