ERDEN: becoming earth is an adaptation for young audiences of “Crash Landing on Olympus Mons”.

How can we inhabit a damaged planet? In ERDEN: becoming earth, dancers create temporary connections that point towards ecological reconciliation, by coming in contact with the skin of the earth: Rocks.

Singing, humming and dancing with each other and rocks become tools to survive and to find new ways of being together for a more sustainable future.

ERDEN: becoming earth, is a piece that questions the habitability of the earth and emphasises the relationship between humans and other than human entities.
