A reference to the experience of the performer’s corporeality on stage, the organizers explain, but also and above all – “to the urgency to rethink new dynamics of interaction with the public through the sharing of space”, as Jurong Bird Park somehow reminds us. , the guiding image of 2021 created by Armin Linke (Milan 1966), which proposes a sort of theatrical staging, a display of elements that represent a concept of natural landscape.
