in the bloom of dying amber

In development / Format: Feature Hybrid Documentary / Language: English, Japanese / Expected release: 2028

A dance company in Berlin is working on a process based performance relating to climate crisis. They want to break out of their automated, chrononormative patterns of movement in a busy metropolis in the capitalist West, and reimagine the way they interact with their surroundings. At the dance-studio, they are encouraged to reflect on their feelings related to the lost of the natural world. In their every-day life, they are preoccupied with dealing with other forms of personal crisis. The film depicts the inherent confusion between science and inner emotional life, between society and nature. How can we continue to live our everyday lives in an era of global mass destruction?
