FERTILE GROUND
Presented by Metro Arts
By Ashleigh Musk and Michael Smith
We are here to witness our failing paradise.
Suspended in time, vulnerable bodies navigate a forest of cement. Landscapes shift, rise and crumble, as audience and performers move through avalanches of decay. Gritty transformations reveal spaces for hope and action.
With vivid choreography, Fertile Ground manipulates space, sound and a brutalist pile of concrete bricks in this ground-breaking participatory performance.
