This visual and musical performance, created by the company Hotel Pro Forma in collaboration with the Latvian Radio Choir, received Denmark's Reumert Award. The work is set within the context of the Anthropocene, a geological era marked by the profound transformation of ecosystems caused by human activity. Through a multidisciplinary staging that combines contemporary choral music, visual art, lighting and video, it offers an aesthetic and sensorial reflection on the effects of climate change, urbanisation, digitalisation, biodiversity loss and the emergence of new technological life forms.
The structure of the piece is based on three key concepts: Grain (the mobility of materials), Vapour (the constant transformation of the states of matter) and Ray (the transfer of energy), which guide the twelve musical compositions commissioned from different artists. The piece seeks to be a symbolic journey into the “New World” of the Anthropocene, questioning our responsibility as a species and the future of the planet at a time when everything, from natural systems to social structures, is at stake.
