The Clay Diaries

„A unique collaboration between two artists, cineaste and painter, united by the desire to dialogue with chance and play with the stories as if they were a ball that travels from one hand to another.“

Synopsis

Since more than twenty years, the artist Miquel Barceló lives over long periods in Africa. This is where he learned to paint between vermins, before the heat and the wind sign his work. In the very high scarps of Bandiagara, Barceló presents the performance THE DOUBLE STEPS together with the choreograph Josef Nadj.
