Space does not exist.
Space is only if in relation with the subject.
Space in connection with the subject becomes environment.
Environment is the surroundings. What surrounds a subject. The space surrounding the people existing there.

This project is an attempt to change the environment acting creatively on the relationship of the subjects involved with space, understood as physical and social place.

To live means to cancel the duality between us and the environment, our attitude and our actions affect what is around us, the environment as a cultural entity is thus coinciding with the result of the relations between the different cultures of the subjects who inhabit it.

FROG is a site-specific project. The project highlights the difference of physical and audible relationships between high density and sparsely populated areas.

The performance is divided into several panels, each panel has an approximate duration of 5/10 minutes and will take place in a parcour exploring different urban places within a circumscribed area of Florence.
