The performance will take place in the Magazine in Pamplona’s Citadel

Punto de Vista Labs unites artists to work together during the festival. This year it has invited the filmmaker and artist Carlos Casas to work on Avalanche#10, a site-specific audiovisual montage with live soundtrack and editing. Avalanche transports the audience to one of the world's highest deserted villages, Hichigh, in the Pamirs, a mountain range which separates Tajikistan from Afghanistan. One of the least known and remotest regions on earth, the Pamirs are as mysterious as they are fascinating, home to some of the oldest and best-kept traditions in the world. Avalanche is a site-specific project, created and developed according to the venue or festival at which it is presented. In its tenth ‘reincarnation’ at Punto de Vista, Casas will be joined by the sound artist and musician Xabi Erkizia, coordinator in the sound department of AUDIOLAB.

During the festival week, the Magazine in Pamplona’s Citadel will become an open laboratory and test chamber with live audiovisual improvisation and editing, open to the public from Thursday to Saturday and with a closing show which everyone can attend on Saturday the 10th of March.
