Could a better life be found on Mars?
Astrophysicist Valentina has lived on Mars for around twenty years. We learn about her and her extraordinary powers in a documentary straight out of the future. She speaks of asteroids, planets, meteorites and other celestial bodies. But above all, she shows us what positive colonisation would look like: in other words, a new world without the mistakes of the past: resource plundering, soil degradation, climate crisis, barbarity.
Full of poetry and humour, this new work by the Chilean-Basque company AzkonaToloza looks beyond catastrophe, to a better future.
This piece takes us on a poetic and optimistic voyage through space and time in search of a new kind of humanity, living in harmony with the universe.

Located halfway between the Mediterranean Sea, the Pyrenees and the Atacama Desert, Laida Azkona Goñi and Toloza Toloza-Fernández are a pair of artists dedicated to the realisation of living arts projects.
Interested in the infinite possibilities of poetry and visual anthropology, lofi video-creation, performance and movement, their latest creations focus on the re-reading of official history and documentary creation designed for the stage. Understanding the stage as a stage from the hall of an opera house to the immensity of an Altiplanic salt flat.
