Performance synopsis

Bioland explores humanity’s impact on our planet, weaving together themes of captivity, industrialization, and technological advancement that reshape ecosystems and affect the functioning of living organisms. Blurring the boundaries between performance, experiment, exhibition, and runway, the piece challenges anthropocentric assumptions through a surreal lens. Bioland invites reflection on the deep interdependence between human evolution and the fragile balance of life for all beings.
