Milan, Italy

with 'Walking Definitions'

How do you rewrite a dictionary made of new definitions?

Imagine a live ephemeral dictionary where the world is summarized in a set of definitions that make you smile, think, doubt, question, love, move, and change perspective. Eléctrico 28 brings us a walking pop-up observatory run by 3 characters in love with everyday life. If you meet them, don’t miss the chance to hear their particular version of the world around us.

Walking Definitions is a stage intervention that fuses the universe of definitions with the ever-changing reality of everyday urban life. Eléctrico 28’s new performance embraces the strangeness of everyday life, the unpredictable, and relates to the architecture of places: it needs a lively place like a plaza, where a team of “dictionaries” describe things that happen with the power of observation, their bodies, words, and a microphone. Their language is unique and radical: they exclusively use the form of definition to signify the elements, materials, incidents and activities around them. The intervention is constructed by capturing the present moment of a place and is fueled by whoever happens to wander nearby. In conclusion, it is an attempt to perform a dictionary, connected in an unpredictable but controlled way of experiencing the poetics of evidence.
