LAVA – VIDEO

 

LAVA starts where the crack opens wide, to drip drops of a liquid future. Reminding us of the forces of nature and its inherent movements of transformation.

The real witches of daily life, besides fighting for their existence, are taking care of a large number of people. So does Earth to us. The feminine has dealt with and taken care of life on Earth. What flows from Lava is a history that tells us the evolution of the revolution. Where beings and the intelligence of nature have taken the course of change. The water, the essential liquid on Earth, carries stories in itself that remain unheard. We strive to pay attention to the messages and signals that flow over time from the beginning(s) to the end(s).

Marise, remembering from the future, imagines landscapes which possibly have already happened or not yet started. Is Ivy her continuation or a reminiscence of the past? Does time flow in a chronological line or move like the ties and the course of water? Do we imagine the future or do we determine it from the moment we step in or out? LAVA (= port. for “wash”) refers to the act of cleaning on a human scope, but also to the volcanic liquid embodying both destruction and fertility of life. LAVA sheds light on the importance of taking care of the elements that constitute all living beings on Earth and beyond.

Danse Macabre & The burning of the Bugs – VIDEO

Inspired by the queerness of the insect world, Danse Macabre and the Burning of the Bugs is an absurd tragic-comic response to the horror of the bug Apocalypse.

Danse Macabre and the Burning of the Bugs is a tragic-comic response to the current species extinction in the insect world, the horror of the silent Bug Apocalypse, the violence we inflict on the planet and each other and the absurdity of our self-induced overheated end of days. In the 90’s when all the performers were kids, there were 4 times more flying insects than now. Since then the amount of beetles, flies, bees and butterflies has reduced by 75% – in just 30 years! If we don’t queer the f*ck up, we are not going to survive! DMBB dives into a multi-layered exploration of the queerness of the insect world – loud, colourful, messy, full of sheddings, transformations, evolutions and deaths.

CREATION & PERFORMANCE Joni Barnard, Liselotte Singer & Marc Philipp Gabriel
COSTUMES Tizo All & Team
VIDEO ADVICE & DOCUMENTATION Elisa Purfürst

NOV 2021 / Uferstudios Berlin / Residency Programme

In the frame of the Berlin Residency “TRIALS AND REVISITING”, Joni Barnard continued working on their collaborative performance Danse Macabre and the Burning of the Bugs. The project is a tragic-comic response to the current species extinction in the insect world, the horror of the Bug Apocalypse and the absurdity of humankind’s violent destruction of our habitat. Joni invited the videographer Elisa Purfürst, the dancer-performer Liselotte Singer, Marc Philipp Gabriel as a visiting performer and dramaturg and Tizo All for costume and scenic design and conception. For the residency the artists concentrated on creating soundscapes and layering realtime making and projected images to the performance. As further input, they consulted experts on insects based in and around Berlin and researched deeply the team’s experience, bias and discrimination towards interspecies interconnectedness.

 

Work-in-Progress – STAGE 1

Joni & Marc met 5 years ago in South Africa​. Since then the biomass of flying insects has declined by about 14%, as studies in Germany and Puerto Rico have shown. When Joni & Marc were kids, there where 4 times more flying insects than now. Since then the amount of beatles, flies, bees and butterflies has reduced by 75% – in just 30 years! Danse Macabre and the burning of the bugs is a response to the current horror of the Bug Apocalypse, the violence we inflict on the planet and each other and the absurdity of our self-induced overheated end of days. How many bugs have died today?
