The Awakening Performance Avväxten

Avväxten is based on poet David Väyrynen's forthcoming poetry collection of the same name - a single long sermon delivered at the meeting that concludes the land-sharing community Storberget/Isovaara/Stuorváris' jubilee week. The performance attempts to reconstruct that gathering in order to spread the community's message: if the earth is to continue bearing humanity, humans must begin placing significantly less weight on its shoulders.

For the jubilee celebration, members of similar associations have been invited - those who sympathize with the idea of always choosing the earth's wellbeing before humanity's. Are you one of them?
