Adapted from Italo Calvino’s Cosmicomics, from the primordial ocean of 500 million years ago, a mollusc speaks to the human inhabitants of today’s world, reminding us how we developed sensations, emotions, motions and self-hood. This piece combines absurdism, physical theatre, Folk song, and immersive electronic soundscapes, as the shapeless mollusc sings of its evolution into the entangled life forms that make up our universe, while it creates its first shell: a spiral.
