The process consisted of different work-in-progresses sheared with audiences in October, November and December 2019. During the process the work has varied in materials. In different times consisting of dramatic and documentary text, dance, video installations, concrete sculptures, sound and light.

 

Materials that has feed into the process has been text from a climate activist, text from Medea, Iphigenia, Nora (Ibsen) and Donna Haraway, jellyfish, water and concrete. The guiding idea in the process has been staying with the trouble, building and deconstructing and building again.

 

The work reflects on violence and the relations between humans, other creatures and materials such as concrete and water. Our world is in crisis. War does not exist without peace. What should we do? What will we do? What are we doing?
