An invitation to feel what it means to be a human in today’s world.
In this intergenerational gathering, we revisit recent world history, told by millennials who witnessed it first hand as children. An absurd war, an industrial tragedy, a mobilisation of musicians and two all-encompassing social experiments.
Nothing Bigger Than Humanity invites you to feel what it means to be human in today’s world. In this gathering, we revisit recent world history* from four continents, told by millennials who witnessed it first hand as children. An absurd war, an industrial tragedy, a mobilisation of musicians and an all-encompassing social experiment.
By joining the gathering, you too become a witness to these stories. After each scene, all guests are invited to share their thoughts. These live reactions are the deciding factor in how each gathering unfolds. No performance will ever be the same.
All voices combined form one big testimony of global power dynamics. Forces that disrupt even the most sincere bonds between humans, leaving people torn between deep love and great fear. During Nothing Bigger Than Humanity, we break free from that impossible state of being by relating once more to the humanity we all share.
The performance is carried by continuous live music by Sarah Jeffery (recorders & voice), Yung Tuan Ku (vibraphone & percussion) and Andrea Voets (harp & electronics).
