FLORA

Imagine a picture of a horse surrounded by lush nature.

Our brain will consider the horse as the subject and the plants surrounding it as a generic natural space.

Now, if we removed the horse from the image, what we would probably perceive is a simple 'empty' landscape.

Plants are a fundamental element of the biosphere, representing more than 80% of Earth's biomass, while humans only make up 0,01%. Why is it, then, that we cannot really see plants?

FLORA is a choreographic exploration of the world of plants as a form of hidden reality that we can’t see, or usually ignore. An exploration of the perception of time, space and interactions that separate us from the language of vegetal species. A journey into hidden underground spaces where human hierarchies and values are liquefied and where different possible forms of communication and relations can be learned.

What can plants teach us about ourselves? Are plants intelligent or are they just reacting to stimuli? Are we humans really intelligent or do we just react to stimuli as well?
