Resisting Extinction
Together our bodies live inside this ecological crisis. We invite you for a participatory and immersive walk into the forest.
We must hone our skills, to be receptive, to improvise, to play, to experiment, to grieve, to metabolize, to be together in the unknown – and trust we have resources in our bodies to negotiate, survive, and thrive.
We invite you into the forest for a weather walk, a search through deep time for disappearing beings, and a dying and decomposing practice.
INFO
Duration: Total duration 2.5 hours approx. The performance takes part in three parts of app. 30-40 minutes and a collective closing ritual.
You decide, how long you wish to stay – we do encourage to join from the beginning, since the performers will take the audience into the landscape from the beginning.
Age: From 12 years
Language: English and Danish
Resisting Extinction is a participatory and walking performance in the forest. Wear clothes and shoes suitable for the forest floor.
