World Map of Solos

由於我們無法再移動到其他國家，自由流動被疫情所阻止，因此我們決定為我們的計劃設計線上多媒體的平台。

​

我們以香料之路為起點，因此我們將創建一個影片互動式地圖，尋找當代的香料之路。每個藝術家，將上載根據各人本國的處境所創作的個人表演。我們也期待影片裡可呈現關於創作和表演地點的紀錄，讓觀眾了解作品之餘，也可一窺藝術家及作品接觸到的社區，以及其受疫情之影響。此時此刻，很多的劇場都大門深鎖，藝術家對演出空間的選擇是什麼？商場？街道 ？客廳？學校 ？

​

平台的目標是引發相遇。我們邀請贊同這個紀錄的藝術家朋友們，以同樣方式，也可以在地圖上分享他們的經歷。因此，在這個多媒體線上平台上，我們可以穿越 50 個國家，參與不一樣的劇場體驗。這也將成為藝術家建立網絡、相互回應和分享他們的實踐的可能性。

Since we can no longer travel and are blocked by the pandemic which prevents the free movement of women and men, we therefore decided to give a multimedia dimension to our project.

​

Since we are working around the Spice Road we are going to create an interactive map. On this map we will be able to find video capsules. Each artist, according to his country will put online her/his solo performance.  And there will be a filmed documentation of the place where the solo is created and performed, to understand the artistic practice of the artist, from the community it touches. And especially from the state of the pandemic in the country it is found. There is a good chance that the theaters will be closed and that we can attend a performance outside the traditional venues. What will the artist's choice be? A mall ? The street ? A living room ? School ?

​

The objective of this Platform will be to induce other encounters. So the idea is that other artists, other countries can, while respecting this protocol, also broadcast their experiences on this map. Thus on the multimedia platform it will be possible to travel through 50 countries and attend a certain number of theatrical experiences. It will also be the possibility for artists to network, to respond to each other and to share their practices.
