Using a selection of characters and places, and a few stories, all linked by the idea of delusions of grandeur, Azkona&Toloza bring us a choral account that delves into the last five centuries of history of the Brazilian Amazon.
The Amazon, consistently described by the West as a huge, empty vastness, uninhabited and wild, despite the fact that its banks and forests are home to millions of Indigenous people, and have been for centuries.
Impenetrable, exotic and exuberant.
Chaotic, delirious and lawless.
A fantastical paradise for explorers, conquistadors and adventurers, replete with treasures to be found and resources to be exploited.
A vast expanse of green crossed by a giant furrow in the shape of an anaconda.
A place where blue and green is the same word.
Situadas a medio camino entre el mar Mediterráneo, los Pirineos y el Desierto de Atacama, Azkona&Toloza son una pareja de artistas dedicada a la realización de proyectos de artes vivas. Interesadas en las infinitas posibilidades de la poesía y la antropología visual, la videocreación lo-fi, la performance y el movimiento, sus últimas creaciones se centran en la relectura de la historia oficial y la creación documental pensada para escena. Entendiendo como escena desde la sala de una ópera hasta la inmensidad de un salar altiplánico.
