ORIGINAL MUSIC & sound design
A plank falls.
It is not a collapse, but a foundation.
The pieces find their places, arrange themselves, lean on one another: origin, root, foundation… A territory that supports and connects. The wood reveals its primary function: to support from below.
But, as there is no matter without gesture nor memory without a substrate, each plank bears an imprint, a trace: the footsteps of those who were there, gestures that are repeated, stories passed from one voice to another, the laughter of those who played, hands that built and cared, people who found their place in the world.
In this sensitive map of the collective, nothing remains fixed. Everything is organised, shifts, transforms. A tableau vivant that is assembled and dismantled, where each arrangement retains something of the previous one, even if it is no longer the same. Tradition becomes present.
TABLERO as a contemporary square. A space where identity is not declared, but produced, woven, constructed. A reflection on culture as a living practice, which is not a monument, but a process; which is not an image, but a shared experience. Where past and present coexist as the foundation of that which, in its permanence, mutates, transforms… indisputable, indefinable, ALIVE.
