Modern Nature

Show Gallery

A modern nature is musical media performance based on Derek Jarman's diaries, touching not only on the artist's biography, but also on topics such as AIDS, melting glaciers, vaccines of a new generation and all the disturbing chaos of today's world. The only true form of relationship that a person is able to build with the global chaos and uncertainty of our time is tenderness. Tenderness today can become one of the most extreme ways of knowing the world, which humanity has not been able to disenchant with other rational methods. The play is an affirmation of this position, a reflection on it in the form of performative and visual poetry about awe in relation to everything that is natural, and about love as the only thing that can last forever.
