Down in the moss, human!

Down in the moss, human! (2010) was a site-specific production with dance, music, text and video. Down in the moss, human! was performed in the restaurant of Hvalstrand Bad in Asker with the outside surroundings as an active part of the performance.

The artists behind Down in the moss, human! ask whether young people live with a divide between nature and culture? Or is there sensibility and contemplation for this in young people?

Marianne Skjeldal produced the production.

At the webpage for Down in the moss, human! the following, among other things, is written about the production:

"Down in the moss, human! is a production using dance, music, text and video. The different expressions are interwoven in tableaus and small stories in which the participants enter and exit different situations. The production is both humorous and with more sombre, existential undercurrents. Everything is connected to the theme, in the intersection between nature and culture. The production is not a 'back to the nature' project, but one reflecting upon the reality we live in."
