Lithium Love Stories 
3 & 4 October 2025, Schwankhalle Bremen 

Millions of flamingos and humans are migrating from the Atacama Desert due to the
intensive extraction of lithium—a key resource for powering cell phones, computers,
bicycles, scooters, and electric cars. Lithium Love Stories is a performance that explores the
tensions between technological development, emotional connection, and territory.
Tremenda Corporea moves through this landscape of postcolonial contradictions on analog
e-scooters, where the human, the mineral, and the technological blend together. Ionized
bodies inhabit a scenic ecosystem that breathes between the desire for a fast-paced future
and the urgency of a calm present.
The piece is built from documentary fragments, improvisation, choreography, and sound,
creating an experience that oscillates between the intimate and the collective. Together with
the audience, we share the anxiety of a draining battery and reconnect with other forms of
energy: the energy of the body, of desire, of being together.

Can this performance create a moment of reflection that honors the knowledge of the
Lickanantai community, their relationship with water, salt flats, and the concept of buen vivir
(good living)?
