(2023)

Lush blast follows the concept of wilderness as a tool to let go of control and celebrate the richness of life. A performative walk where attention is drawn from the intricacies of biological processes, to the orchestration of the various bodies that help shape Hellerau. The walk begins on Portikus in front of the Festspielhaus and continues through the immediate surroundings of Hellerau. Along the way, stories, songs and exercises are tried out to direct attention and perception and stimulate the imagination. Senses are drawn to the small movements, connections, and impulses of the sentient wilderness residing in the surroundings and our bodies. The narrative is woven in a hybrid fashion, combining live performance, archival footage, and a live sound installation. 

WE ARE TURNING THE AIR INTO FLESH. WE ARE A FABRIC OF SUGAR. WE ARE A SWEET ENERGY STORAGE. WHISPERING STORIES OF SENTIENT WILDERNESS.
