"The dream space is the space of creation, the space of life. Here things are created and decided. The material form is only the consequence of the dream space, and we consider that dead material".   (Australian aborigine)                                                                 

THE NIGHT –visioning a post capitalist society while we sleep is the title of hello!earth’s coming work. 

A social event for 30 audiences taking place at a theatre venue, or in site-specific surroundings like in the building of the local City Hall or in a tent-like structure on a sandy beach.

​

DEAR FRIENDS

What kind of community can we imagine as a post capitalist model of being and functioning together? And how could we stimulate a collective visioning and “rehearsal space“ for such collective field? 

​

To address these questions, we invite the audience for an extra-ordinary experience in the frame of an overnight stay. Yes!... We’re inviting you to be our overnight guests, and to be part of an 12 hours durational and participatory performance, where the fragile situation of spending a night together with strangers becomes a catalyst for deeper meetings and a platform to re-think economy of meeting and exchange.

​

An experience facilitating a space of collective creation & visioning, interrelatedness and power of community, in which the potential of dreaming practice and the creation of new communities are central elements.

​

​

The research for the work started in 2015, and in small and steady steps it continues during a series of workshops, residencies and showings throughout 2016, 17 and 18. The work is developed with a team of international artists and wil be finalized in 2018 and planned to tour in 2018 to 2020.

It is realized as a quest with emphasis on building relations, sharing of process and knowledge, discourse and dialogue and developing meaningful partnerships with both institutions and artists involved.
