The Congress of Plants

A fictional choreobotanical scenario by YET Company

We admire the bouquet of flowers on the table and enjoy the shade of the trees in summer. But if a tree grows in the wrong place, it is cut down.
We often treat plants as objects. If we could listen to them, what impact would this have on human-botanical relations?

The dance production "Der Kongress der Pflanzen" ("The Congress of Plants") gives plants a stage. Three dancers act as hosts, come into contact with them and thus constantly create new more-than-human constellations.
