Windy days examine the obscure moments of oppression hidden within the storms of history. The moment of wind becomes a metaphor for dissolving the common language on the surface and revealing individual stories.
Wind brings tangibility to the space we share, as well as the complexity of relationships between bodies and space. On stage, two performers generate dynamics through scores and games, which then expand into an atmospheric presence that takes over their movements. The harmonium fills the space with air and breath. Voice becomes a shared entity that breathes the identities of the absent into the present bodies, while transforming the stage into other places and times.

The durational performance transforms the foyer of Triennale into a landscape of living conditions. Movements, rhythms, and distances reveal the invisible structures of coexistence, while repetition traces the interrelations between body and environment, between the individual and the collective. The audience is free to come and go at any time — to engage actively, or to find a moment of rest.
Through performative scores and game structures, the performers create responsive apparatuses and fictive situations that invite the imagination of alternative realities, while generating distance for reflection. In the temporary shelter of reciprocity, we might reveal the fundamental fact that we all inhabit the same air and the same space — and are, therefore, essentially equal.
