Evento
biome - an exploration of desire and yearning in the natural world.
After the great floods of January, San Francisco's acclaimed CAPACITOR comes to Seattle with their latest synthesis of movement, physical devices, and interactive media for the first time. The performance, biome, runs May 29 & 30 at Seattle Repertorys Leo K Theater.
Part dance, part projected glimpses of remote rainforests, and part canopy science, this show grew from weeks spent on-location collaborating with canopy tree scientists, deep in the Monteverde Cloud Forest of Costa Rica.
What developed was the world of biome, a place where ties between humans and our planet become clear. In this world, everything is interconnected in a cycle of growth: people become plants, which morph into animals, providing a portal into a deeper understanding of our own motivations and impulses. biome inspires a sense of wonderment about the delicate ecosystems that lie within the heart of our increasingly fragile world.
Dr. Nalini Nadkarni, world-renowned canopy tree ecologist and author, led the scientific collaboration for biome. She ushered Capacitor artists into the canopy of 250- foot tall Douglas Fir trees in Washington and 150-foot tall strangler figs in Costa Rica to provide scientifically sound information on the complex interactions around them. To highlight the importance of wild spaces and the research that can only be done in relatively untouched biomes such as these, the live performances will be preceded by an illustrated talk by the scientist on the fragility of these ecosystems. In addition, local, regional, and national conservation groups will have information tables in the lobby to invite audience members to become aware of and participate in conservation efforts around them.
