Description
With humans overwhelming nature and climate change descending into an eco-system emergency, what awaits our planet in the people-driven geological age of the Anthropocene? In this highly original operatheatre production, Danish performance art group Hotel Pro Forma, in collaboration with the Latvian Radio Choir, charts the “NeoArctic”, a crazy new world shaped by man. Blending heavenly and apocalyptic sounds with poignant lyrics by Sjon (who also writes for Bjork), spinetingling reverberation, stunning costumes, and video images, the visual-music journey stirringly addresses the vast changes underway – and what is at stake.
