Elena Sgarbossa

Keo


Keo

Elena Sgarbossa’s performance is inspired by the history of the Keo space time capsule: to be launched into orbit in 2019, the sattelite will return to Earth within 50,000 years, carrying preserved messages written by today’s inhabitants.What if the inhabitants of the future didn’t understand us? What happens when we don’t understand ourselves? Does the desire to communicate survive? Starting from these questions, the artist establishes a dialogue with the public, allowing this encounter to nourish her dance.
