"Earth is neither an inexhaustible wilderness nor a spaceship." – Erazim Kohák, Green halo: Chapters from ecological ethics

 

Temperatures are increasing, ecosystems are disappearing, water levels are rising. We live on ecological debt. Is there a way back? What have we already irretrievably lost by our actions? Climatic grief as a source of both anxiety and hope. How can each of us deal with this situation? Do we still have something to talk about, or have we drifted so far apart that we are becoming radioactive to ourselves?

Callin' Gaia is a movement-sound conversation between three performers and our planet Earth, dedicated to the topic of the present time – the Anthropocene.

 

Gaia is a speculative theory, assuming that our planet is a superorganism capable of self-regulation by the organisms living on it, and that the destructive effects of the Anthropocene period are only its response to human actions.

Gaia is also a mythological figure. The goddess of the earth and the Earth itself, the origin of the creation of all living beings. 

Callin' Gaia as an intimate conversation with Mother Earth. Callin' Gaia as a cry for help.

 

The performance is dedicated to our friend, colleague and artist Natálka Podešvová.
