Y: URBAN (E)SCAPES
Plush instead of asphalt!
A composed event that perceives the urban space as a playground and tries to find interactions which break the current stereotypes concerning the everyday perception of the urban space. The space of the Theatre X10 becomes a simulator of "reality", which, in its detachment from the outside, allows to safely explore the public space: to uncover networks of infrastructures, to use forgotten corridors in the middle of cities and to occupy inhospitable places. Ten artists offered several escapist or, on the contrary, intrusive approaches that can be applied also outside the event - in the exterior of the urban landscape which we don’t wish to escape but rather to re-shape with our new uses.
