This new chapter, titled Many Many Ways<\/strong>, marks the return of Mammalian Diving Reflex to BASE following an intense initial phase of research and experimentation last May. During that first encounter, the SOTTOSPECIE<\/span><\/a><\/strong> participants took part in the \u201cAdrift\u201d workshop, exploring the Tortona district while collecting stories, questions, and urban contradictions\u2014through a practice the collective describes as social acupuncture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result? Over 30 ideas for participatory performances emerged from their interactions with shopkeepers, residents, and passersby. These proposals wove together biographies, collective desires, and shared imaginaries\u2014reimagining the urban landscape as a space for unexpected human connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many Many Ways: A Walkable Urban Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In this second phase, participants will collaborate with two artists from Qu\u00e9bec City (Canada), co-creators of the Many Many Ways<\/em> format. The workshop culminates in a public urban walk-performance<\/strong>, taking place on Friday, July 18, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM<\/strong>.

The format is simple yet powerful: the audience starts from a shared location, then splits off along diverging paths, guided by audio tracks and unconventional performers. Each route is unique\u2014designed to surprise and awaken a sense of attention toward what usually goes unnoticed. In the end, everyone meets again at the same final destination, each having experienced a completely different journey.

An International Experiment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Many Many Ways<\/em> is part of Mammalian Droppings<\/strong>, a pilot project for artistic production engaging emerging young artists across several global cities: Riga, Qu\u00e9bec City, and Milan<\/strong>. The aim? To test out new, collaborative, and sustainable models for international artistic creation\u2014where ideas collected in one location are developed and realized in another, fostering an ongoing exchange of local experiences, visions, and practices.

Born in Toronto, Mammalian Diving Reflex<\/strong> has been working for years at the intersection of participatory performance and human connection among strangers. Their motto? \u201cIdeal entertainment for the end of the world.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
