Guanajuato, Gto., December 9, 2016.- Students of the University of Guanajuato (UG) seek to generate environmental awareness through the project of dance-performance "Cold Obsolescence."
Collective Vadama is responsible for this play, exposes the vision of the collective about the impact to the ecosystem due to the generation of residue, which propitiate the scheduled obsolescence.
This collective is composed by Manuel Villalpando and David Arellano, students at the Division of Architecture, Art and Design of Campus Guanajuato of UG, who, parting from a research work, synced ideas to share their vision of the world through art.
The members of the collective define the scheduled obsolescence as the capacity the maker or producer should give useful life to a product, which has created consumerism and how fast we live today.
David Arellano, student of Scenic Arts, explained that "in the collective we are clear that we don't want them to think like us, neither initiate a fight to change the world, the only thing we do is share what we know, contributing and supporting with our knowledge through arts, always engaged with the common good."
"Cold Obsolescence" has the purpose to conduct towards responsibility of the spectator to recycle the electronic waste correctly, as well as to diminish the pollution and the environmental wear the environment suffers.
The image of an artificial flower accompanied by a fan marks the beginning of the play, which through a choreographic play and visual performance, the interpreters take the spectator to involve and perceive the decay, saturation and unconscious growth we live in society.
In an interview, Manuel Villalpando, student of Architecture, highlighted that besides this play, they seek to involve their degree in the projects of the collective, since they plan the future creation of a natural medicine clinic.
He added that they explore the possibility to offer therapies of alternative medicine in this clinic, as well as the opening of a space to make recreational activities with a natural focus such as yoga, meditation, gardening and harvesting for the medicinal plants.
At the event was present, UG's General Rector, Dr. Luis Felipe Guerrero Agripino, the responsible of UG's Program of Environmental Handling, M.A. Dante Acal Sánchez.
