A collective performance to tell the story of the relationship between us and climate change.
Every day in the news we hear about environmental disasters and the need to find collective solutions to climate change. But each individual’s decisions also have an impact on the protection of the environment and therefore on our own future.
How and to what extent does the debate on climate change affect us personally the most? What are we already giving up in order to make a contribution to combating climate change? What would we never give up? And how can we have a better conversation despite our different views?
Daniele Ninarello, Italian choreographer and dancer, has worked intensively with a group of different Berliners. Based on a selection of video statements, texts and images, but also on the personal contributions of the participants, the performance explores the relationship between art, the environment and collective and personal participation.
The performance will be followed by a discussion with participants in the project and the political scientist and head of the “Ecological Crises” research group at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Vincent August.
Daniele Ninarello is an Italian artist working in the field of dance and performing arts. He trained at the Rotterdam Dance Academy and dances with internationally renowned choreographers such as Bruno Listopad, Virgilio Sieni and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. His choreographic language is articulated in a constant search for movement that focuses on the “living body” as a place of mediation.
