Solaris? is an outdoor contemporary dance performance drawing parallells between the science fiction novel
Solaris (1961) by Polish author Stanislaw Lem, and how our anthropocentric lens of the world hinders us in understanding and preserving the natural world today.
The audience will go on a walking journey through the woods, and be confronted with their naive search for something familiar within an unknown form of consciousness.
—
Solaris? will premiere at the Arctic Arts Festival in 2025, and starts its production period at a three week residency with Davvi - Center for Performing Arts in august 2024.

The project is still in need of funding and possible co-producers. So, if you know of a woodland that would like to welcome the performance, please get in touch!
