UK PREMIERE
How does climate change, a vastly distributed emergency, become personal? What is it about the slow-motion accident that escapes our defense responses?
In This ritual is not an accident, time and scale are recalibrated as personal histories are shredded, recomposed, and the slow-motion accident of climate change becomes intimate. Women undergo surgery, first passive, then actively involved in their own operations.
Created for small audiences, this performance becomes an emergent text, windstorm, and choir; a contemporary ritual to reset nervous systems collectively.
This ritual is not an accident from her skin like summer on Vimeo.
