How to Civilize a Waterfall

Thursday, June 22

Theatre “B.P. Hasdeu”

In the video, artist Hanna Ljungh performs an authoritative confrontation with nature, an indifferent and independent force. Ljungh challenges a waterfall and tries to persuade it to turn into a hydroelectric power plant. The work reveals humanity’s comical and paradoxical relationship with nature. The encounter becomes an emotional and almost spiritual experience – an encounter with one’s self.
