Event info

In place where everything is leaking and dripping strange ecosystems and uncanny causal relations emerge. Matter becomes entangled and stuck in strange loops and unfamiliar systems. The stage becomes an other-wordly ecosystem, in some way similar to ecosystems as can be found in nature, but here things are not as they seem. The relation between cause and effect, living and nonliving, artificial and natural, become uncertain and the chain of production, consumption and decomposition gets challenged.
  

Various landscapes appear briefly and then blur together again. They morph between swamps, mountains, underground landscapes, bacterial cultures and dystopia. They melt and drip and morph and mix, they get stuck in an endless loop until they dissolve, disintegrate, sulk and spill. 

Invisible forces play a leading role: humidity, waves, gravity and the electromagnetic field become a moving force in this uncanny ecosystem where something so simple as causality, becomes like a magical affair.
