How to turn to stone

A play that behaves like a stone: what would that look like? What form would a ‘mineral’ representation take? What if we try to imitate what is never born, never will grow and never dies? In How to Turn to Stone, stones, as ‘non-living’ things, are models for a different kind of resistance. Manuela Infante brings pieces of eroded stories together. The fragments become landscapes and she stacks those landscapes like geological rock layers – using looping and sound landscaping. This creates a ‘mineral’ representation telling you something about what is written in stones, and what stones have written in us.
