Let's imagine that we remove all the artifact from a theater and leave only the bleachers in front of the world. This scenic project is based on the idea of using a real landscape as if it were a stage. The piece interweaves the concepts of art, theater, landscape and gaze, conveyed through sound and words. The story invites reflection and observation in the most sober sense of the word, with the will to offer the public another time of the scenic, traveling from the concept of the spectacular to the concept of contemplation. The experience is generated from the contradiction of the observer: The landscape in front of him is known, but at the same time it seems very strange to him because that is not how he normally perceives it. That struggle between strangeness and familiarity is the crack through which we want the viewer's real experience to emerge.
Landscape listening is a scenic piece of contextual art, which means that there will be as many versions as there are places where it will be performed. The story, the audience's route and the sound are modified and adapted to the context and place where it is performed.
