“Ninety-nine percent of my body is made up of bacteria, organisms, processes beyond my control. Even my thoughts live a life of their own.”
A performance about transformation, identity, and a journey into the unknown—where nothing is certain and everything is possible. The story of a French anthropologist attacked by a bear during field research into shamanism becomes the starting point for a new way to perceive the world: a vision of non-destructive coexistence on this planet. The boundaries between human and non-human, useful and harmful, sane and mad begin to dissolve. Dark ecology. How do you live with this new perception among those who refuse to change theirs?
The script was developed in dialogue with the writings of Nastassja Martin, Timothy Morton, and Irene Solà.
