The Chilean-Spanish company Azkona Toloza poetically speculates about the colonies of the future … in space. 

Do you know how many different minerals are in a solar panel? Do you know how many minerals are in your smartphone? And in the computer you're using to read this document? And the server that hosts your theater’s website? And your body? Do you know how many minerals make up your body?

Cuerpos Celestes tells an imaginary story about the future of humanity, based on conversations with experts in astrophysics, lawyers, planetary scientists and science fiction fans.

Azkona Toloza

Halfway between Barcelona, Pamplona and the Atacama Desert, Laida Azkona and Txalo Toloza craft provocative performance art with an activist edge. Txalo Toloza is a video artist, performer and set designer. Laida Azkona is a dancer and choreographer. After a trilogy about contemporary colonialism in Latin America, Azkona Toloza continue their political-philosophic research with the diptych FALLA (‘fault line’). In the first part FALLA – Canto Mineral, a man who walks through the mountains slowly turns to stone. The second part, Cuerpos Celestes, catapults us straight into the cosmos.
