… RHIZOMES…
ANARBORESCENCES CYCLE
'Rhizome' is a botanical term used to define an underground tendril that develops branches, leaves or other roots, growing from one of its extremities, while consuming itself from others. It is also a philosophical concept developed by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in the introduction to their book A Thousand Plateaus. This concept is defined by its principles of connection, heterogeneity, rupture, multiplicity and cartography. All these elements were used as starting point for the creation of the evolving title quartet … rhizomes…, designed to grow with the addition of a new word at each performance.
… rhizomes… is the second piece of the choreographic triptych anarborescences.
