Huella: an eco-poetic performance tracing a waterfall’s memory

At the edge of ecological collapse, Huella unfolds around an ambiguous waterfall carrying water’s memory, as new geologies emerge. Through eco-poetic symbolism, an installation-performance of textural and flamenco soundscapes traverses dissonant yet porous, solastalgic bodies and landscapes, entangled in the waterfall’s trace. The waterfall is a more-than-human witness and archive, whose memory holds traces of play, intimacy, human contradiction, animal passages, altered ecologies and persistent materials settling into new geologies. Folding past, altered present and future archive into one another, it makes human dissonance, loss and entanglement with a changing living world perceptible through what it carries. Huella emerges from the lived tension of perceiving ecological alteration while inhabiting everyday life, resonating with solastalgia. Lorca’s Poeta en Nueva York, Suites and Libro de poemas are undercurrents. Huella is premiering on November 8th at the Cockpit as part of Voila!
