While doing costume design for the Erdreich project, I understood for the first time—fully, crisply, clearly—that “The Collapse,” often portrayed in films as a one-day, all-destructive event, is in fact something that has been happening for a long time—since the rise of capitalism and colonialism.
I also learned that the soil, with its vivid community of fungi, microorganisms, and tiny critters, offers us critical lessons on how to live through this ongoing Collapse.
Thank you, Christoph Stec, for your—despite the image—optimistic view of the future. Asking us: What if collapse wasn’t the end, but the beginning of something new?

Das Erdreich invites you on a theatrical bus journey into the Rhenish lignite mining region. In Bürgewald, on the edge of the Hambach open-pit mine, decay becomes a generative force.
Between researchers, residents, and a mysterious fungus, a world unfolds where something new grows out of collapse. An immersive expedition into the hidden world beneath our feet – about change, transformation, and the future.

The theater piece was shown this May as part of the Sommerblut Festival.

For the costume, I added layers of latex as windows and wounds to other layers—a technique I learned from @storchauf_dem_olymp . I reused old clothes and crocheted them into hats, a technique I learned from @usia.zubr , with the help and talent of @cictcrca .

Eine Fundstelle, ein garten zwischen Welten

Anbei eine der Arten, die wir in unserem Projekt „Guardians of the Garden“ gefunden haben:

Art: Gedanke
Ort: Menschliche Vorstellungskraft

DIE WELTEN
(DIE REALITÄTEN)

„Wenn ein Baum in einem Wald fällt und niemand da ist, um es zu hören, macht er dann ein Geräusch?” Die Welt ist eine umkämpfte Zone, ein Ort, an dem Schöpfung in unendliche Richtungen gedeiht und wächst. Die Welt ist auch ein imaginäres Gebilde. Wie werden ihre Ausdehnungen und Grenzen in unserer menschlichen Vorstellungskraft erdacht?

Hegemoniales Denken, Schreiben und Darstellen ziehen die Grenzen der Welt und setzen sie als Wahrheit durch. Wahrheit, als endloses, allumfassendes Konzept, verwandelt die ganze Welt in eine menschliche Wahrnehmung. Was nicht durch hegemoniales Denken wahrgenommen wird, existiert nicht und entgeht somit der Vorstellungskraft. An dieser Schwelle finden wir die Grenzen der Welt. Die Welt als imaginäres Gebilde beinhaltet die Möglichkeit der Vorstellungskraft, der Fantasie und der mythologischen Formulierungen. Wahrheiten koexistieren auf diese Weise und schaffen Heterotopien – eine Vielzahl von Realitäten. Endlose Klänge in einem Garten, die immer bereit sind, gehört zu werden. by @blanca.barbat

“creature freedom as utopia – ark” ist eine Oper-Tanz-Performance, in welcher sich die Akteur.ens mit dem Thema Diversität und Umwelt in Form einer getanzten Arche
auseinandersetzen. Das mixed-abled Ensemble zeigt auf, wie menschliche Existenzen eine Gemeinschaft bilden können.
