Embracing The Root is an international musical drama created by actor and entrepreneur Lotte Arnsbjerg together with New York composer Carman Moore and a strong team of collaborating artists. Drawing on the intelligent community of trees, roots and fungi, the production follows a researcher who, in the middle of an ambitious project on stress, ends up admitted to a psychiatric ward.
The piece works as an abstract mirror of the complex facts of the climate crisis. It suggests that crisis and the ways out of it can be closely linked, and that traces of the interconnectedness of all things, as found in nature, can appear even in the midst of an overwhelming collapse. It also turns to human mental wellbeing and the possibilities for building a more sustainable world.
Arnsbjerg also has other performances coming up this autumn, including "Det er derfor jeg SKÆLVER" at BRØK in Brønshøj, and Ayi Solomon has a jazz concert with SABA in Høng in December.
