Haven
With headphones on and guided by the sounds of garden owners, aesthetic soundscapes, and the voices of experts, you are led through perennial beds and flowers. Two performers take you through the garden’s spaces, inviting you to open your senses in encountering the poetic and sensory anatomy of specific plants: the scent of spearmint or sage, the taste of candied roses, and the deep purple sap of elderberry. Along the way, they encounter the dandelion and the cultivated rose, as well as the aching body of the garden worker.
HAVEN is a site-specific walking experience that investigates our relationship with nature from a scholarly, poetic, and sensory perspective throughout history and today.
INFO
Duration: 60 min
LANGUAGE: The performance is in Danish
Age: from 12 years
