Performance description
A journey towards nature: a surreal dreamland dwelling in the soft connections of the forest ecosystem. One tree, two trees, three trees... woods.*
A group of dancers together with a wide artistic team take everyone on a vibrant re-discovery of the forest
– a complex and deeply interconnected system that lies beyond human comprehension in its own temporality.
*Woods won't vaporize* creates a surreal dreamland inspired by the forest ecosystem and the anatomy of trees. It invites everyone to stretch their roots, sense their mutual touch, ground themselves, imagine the decomposition of their tissues, feel the sap flow, and breathe. It is a reminder that while humans wage forest wars amongst each other, the forest continues to live its life cycles far from the human illusion of control. The woods won’t give up – they will stay, they will outlive everyone, they will not evaporate.
This cycle of dance works stems from a long-term, process-oriented artistic research. It offers recent graduates and students in their final year of dance studies one of their first professional experiences and access to a thick network of artists and venues. By creating on the go and interweaving with the audience in several different performance formats, *Woods won't vaporize is organically morphing towards its final form.
