MOTUS MORI: RELIQUIEM
Scenography for Katja Heitmann
This is not a décor
RELIQUIEM is a monumental installation
for the movement archive Motus Mori
A common space for individual experience
merged in the public space, a safe space to surrender
RELIQUIEM is a ritualistic space
for intimacy and vulnerability
for receiving other people’s movements in your body
Immersive but not isolating
Protecting but not hiding
Fully closed with many openings
Safe like a womb that you can leave whenever you want
“Motus Mori: RELIQUIEM is a movement-opera for public spaces: an intimate ritual that invites participants to experience, directly through their own body, the ‘movement relics’ donated by other people.”
