In "WECreate Spaces: Morelia" the artists explore the urban landscapes of Morelia, Mexico, a city that exemplifies the dichotomy found in colonial places featuring the eclectic richness of their architecture and the dilapidated parts of the town. Tuning into the environment through improvisation, the dancers, camera-person and musician create a collaborative knowledge that illuminates their multi-layered sensibility of understanding the world through the body. Generating affective spaces, highlighting the artist’s relations to environment, artist to artist and artist to locals. The serendipitous encounters with the passers-by add a flavour that transforms the usual into extraordinary, portraying the tonality, mood and atmosphere of this joyful and vibrant place.
Dear Tree, Please Don't Spill on Our Grave., 2021, Sweden, 15 min
Produced and Directed by Jonne Covers
Featuring Anna Fransen, Laurens van de Linde
Music Composed by Thomas Jaspers, Jort Terwijn
Cinematography by Floris Verweij
Written by Jonne Covers
Sound Design by Sam Huisman
"Dear Tree, Please Don't Spill on Our Grave." tells a short story about the history of humankind. In an attempt to make sense of it all, the film originates from a somewhat dry research to "How did we get here?" and "What is that 'here' anyway?" Of course this leads to nothing but more questions. So here is a clunky film about adventurous Anna, who lives in a toilet, and who accidentally throws herself a surprise party.
