Terra Nullius was a term created by international law to define territories that didn’t belong to anyone, and could therefore be occupied. Terra Nullius territories still exist today, such as Bir Tawill, Antarctica, the international sea and the Moon. But the term also has a poetic meaning. An
idea of uncharted territory, an oasis of freedom where we might start again and rethink our idea of society.
Paula Diogo spent a year in Reykjavik developing a project that tried to capture an ‘experience of a place’, intermingling it with personal and collective narratives. As procedure she used two simple actions: walking and writing. A project that spills over and beyond the theatre space to occupy the city’s geography and the virtual space of discussion and thought.
The audience is advised to wear comfortable clothes and shoes and to be prepared to walk.
The show starts by the river, 400 metres from Lux Frágil, and ends at D. Maria II.
Audiowalk available in Portuguese and English.
This show is part of the Feminist Futures Festival. More information, here.
