SORBITO
SORBITO is a curatorial gesture that connects the pieces of a festival through a sensorial experience. Potions elaborated after several conversations with each artist of the context in relation to their proposals, which the public will take during the pieces, attending to the sensitivity in each encounter.
SORBITO proposes to listen to the bodily processes of smelling, ingesting, tasting and digesting while attending a performance. It is a collaboration with medicinal herbs that imagines the meeting of human cell membranes and plant cell walls to co-perform a process of exchange. Each potion adopts a format, a specific materiality: chewing gum, candy, facial mask, oil, wafer, inhaler, drink or infusion; and contains an herb with specific properties designed in relation to the piece it accompanies. SORBITO learns from herbology and pre-modern healing traditions, resituating these practices in contemporary times.
