Performance synopsis

EXTINCTION: disappearance, annihilation, expiration, extinguishment, cease, annulment, discontinuance, dissolution, fade, demise. Koalas, lemurs and squid are all on the brink of extinction. There are also survivors, such as bisons, grey seals and moose. Colours trigger physical reactions. The blue colour exhibits calming properties. It makes us happy, reduces our appetite and quenches our thirst. Blue choreography for three bodies. An optimistic look at the future of our planet. Some of us will survive.
