Embers/today is yesterday and tomorrow in another place

Oxy-Gen / Z(8) has created a post-apocalyptic future. Planet Earth has become unbalanced – the richest people have already emigrated to Planet B. Most of those left on Earth die young because they have to breathe in the poisonous air. Temperatures of over 50° C have rendered many places uninhabitable.Dead landscapes have been spreading and now cover most of the rivers, seas and oceans. L1Z8 is a member of the Oxy-Generation called for short, Generation Z(8). They are most likely the last people born on planet Earth. Their mission is to find the few oases that are left – places where there is still breathable air. 

During her residency, Lisa Bless plans to develop a hybrid performance which includes the interaction of video projections, dance and experiments with space. Thereby, she wants to explore the effects of her post-apocalyptic scenarios on her own physical body and discover possible ways of moving in the everyday life of this bleak future.
