Gestures of Belonging

 is an experimental film research into the connection between environmentally fragile landscapes and inner/outer figures of elders, creatures and sacred monsters.


...it is about the overlooked, the marginal, the in-between, ones dwelling in the ‘deep time’, as opposed to ‘human time’, suggesting the alternative ways of relating and co-existing, the ways vital for surviving in the era of Anthropocene


Breathing

is a performance about attunement, collective tenderness and alternative ways of being dis/able-bodied.

 initial idea: Christi Knak Chaikowskaja
camera: Nils Ramme

Red thread


is a performance around individual rituals and rites and inquiry into what it means to be pregnant with oneself and witness other potentialities

creature freedom as utopia - ark, 2024

is an opera-dance performance in which the actors deal with the theme of diversity and the environment in the form of a danced ark. 

idea: Christi Knak Chaikowskaja
photo: Daniel Claus Herrmann

"the mixed-abled ensemble shows how human existences can form a community. the ark is set against the backdrop of the climate emergency and deals with the imminent catastrophe that goes hand in hand with it."
