I am thrilled to be part of my good friend Jaskaran Singh's theatrical experimental setting Hybernating Further Extended which will take place this Wednesday, the 8th of October 2025, at Flucc Vienna from 19-21h. I'll give little impromptu lectures (also about my current book projects Living in Ecocide and An Ecology of Moralizing) as a nerdy dwarf and will also spin some tunes as yours truly DJ Responsible. I resonate a lot with Jaskaran's curatorial statement and am excited what spontaneous immersive room we will be able to create:
I find myself returning to a question that haunts contemporary art-making: How do we create together without consuming each other? Hibernating Further Extended emerges from my growing discomfort with traditional theatrical hierarchies, where audiences consume Hibernating Further Extended emerges from my growing discomfort with traditional theatrical hierarchies, where audiences consume performances like plastic products - taking, leaving, forgetting. This work proposes something more intimate and risky: a space where we might discover what we're capable of creating together. My curatorial approach draws from personal experiences of ecological grief and digital sites of individual expression. Working with the team, we aim to develop what I call "structured dreaming" - creating conditions where something unexpected can emerge between us without abandoning artistic and research rigor. The plasticity we explore isn't just about the environmental crisis, but about our capacity to remain soft and responsive in hardening times. I am interested in theater as medicine, as technology for collective healing, as practice for the kinds of cooperation our ecological moment demands. This project asks whether we can make art that doesn't extract from its community but nourishes it, whether theater can model the regenerative relationships our planet desperately needs. We hibernate together to dream new forms of awakening.
