Utopia

Joaquín Fargas (AR)

Artistic project with the mission to raise awareness about climate change, the melting of ice and the problem of water.

Polar Force

Speak Percussion, Philip Samartzis (AU), Eugene Ughetti (AU)

Polar Force is a phenomenological investigation of the windiest, coldest, and driest continent on earth: Antarctica. During the one-hour work, vivid multichannel Antarctic field recordings of wind, water, and ice are combined with new instruments, sampled in a live performance and a choreographed artistic “lecture” undertaken by two performers reminiscent of scientists in a remote polar field station. The immersive live performance merges the art-science-tech to comment on geopolitical issues and the climate crisis.
