Oasi (Installation Activation)

Oasi is a place of rest in the heart of the city – a space that invites you to enter and inhabit it. How do we relate to it? How do other bodies move and interact within it? 

Oasi is a performance installation conceived as a space to be, to dwell, to step briefly outside everything that surrounds us – a place occupied by art that invites us to contemplate a dialogue between space, light, sound, music, the body and the voice. It is also a space to notice and feel how we move, interact and connect within it.
How do we discover our own oasis? How do we move through it? How does it embrace us?

Irene Vicente Salas trained as an art historian at the University of Barcelona and as a director and dramaturg at the Institut del Teatre.
