Far from making a literal adaptation of Poema de Chile posthumous and unfinished book by Gabriela Mistral, the verse that titles the project functions as a poetic guide to configure the corporal, visual, sound and narrative imaginary of the work, which invites us to conceive Chile as a living and symbiotic entity.

You walk without stopping and I lose living things it intertwines theater, dance, media arts and sound design, to embody landscapes, map bones and explore the ungraspable of a body-country. Throughout this journey, the space will be shaped to represent deserts, torrents of rivers, mountain ranges, underground forests and a thick fog that blurs the landscape. At the same time, each territory will connect with the body itself: the skin, blood, spine, nerves and breathing.
