“Species loneliness is the gnawing fear that we are alone in the universe, with a desperate hunger for connection with other life. It is a new form of collective anxiety: we are disabled creatures dislocated in a wounded landscape.” - Michael V. McGinnis
A physical dialogue between human and soil
A detached human stumbles upon the earth. She ignores, dominates, controls. She sows, reaps, mows. She digs, searches and descends. Deep in the ground she finds something she lost a long time ago.
Lonely Species is a mime-performance about alienation from nature and loneliness in a time of extinction. Bodine Sutorius and Nikki Ong explore new ways of coexisting with the land from which they were once born. They attempt to capture the complicated relationship between human and landscape in a physical and musical language.
