A transdisciplinary production on the habitability of our planet

The highlight of the zamus: early music festival is the performance of "Botanica". Under the direction of Bernd Niedecken, an expert in baroque dance, it deals with the question of how we humans can free ourselves from the idea that only mankind and animals influence our planet. Dancers, musicians, actors and a video artist show how we can integrate ourselves into a world that is shaped by many different organisms of which we often know little. Niedecken also incorporates current environmental problems into the performance.
