Can a body be the court where the rights of a river are defended, of a forest or an ocean? Ibrahima Nassy, artistically known as Pisco, places us in front of one of the most critical frontiers of contemporary thought: the need to recognize nature not as a resource, but as a subject of law.
En su obra “Rights of Nature” (Rights of Nature), The Senegalese artist transforms dance and performance into a vibrant manifesto against the exploitation and silence of ecosystems.
For Pisco, Sustainability is not a technical concept, but a spiritual inheritance and a vital urgency. His piece is born from the observation of how the balance of territories breaks under the pressure of global consumption.. Through a physical language that draws on tradition and projects itself towards the avant-garde, Niassy embodies the resistance of the elements. His body turns into cracking earth, in water that demands its channel and in air that demands purity.
This choreographic piece is a reminder that the climate emergency does not affect everyone equally; is a call for climate justice from a global perspective, focusing on the interconnection between the well-being of nature and human dignity.
