Details
‘Forests’ tales of repair’ is a defence of the world’s forests, rooted in knowledge and practices inspired by Indigenous peoples, using the theatre hall as a courtroom: a Parliament for all beings, in the words of Bruno Latour, giving voice to the more-than-human. We ask plants and trees as our allies: How can we move together with you? What can we learn from you? How can we create conditions for shared regeneration and gratitude?
While we wait for our governments to take responsibility for the destruction of Nature, we take justice into our own hands and show a path to heal the damage for which national and international companies and universities in both Denmark and Venezuela are complicit.
A sensorial, eco-political experience and reflection on our shared responsibility.
