booreiland
Booreiland is a transdisciplinary performance that outlines the tension between the deep-rooted belief in an endless economic growth and its consequences on the North Sea's ecosystems.
Through the use of audio documentary, text, image, field recordings, field notes and live sound compositions, Lotte and Gillis create an intimate portrait of the relationship between humans and the sea.
What are the sounds of the North Sea disclosing to us? What kind of wisdom do they posses? How do we relate to the sea? What do we desire from her and what are we giving back in return?
