In March 2015 Germanwings Flight 9525 on route from Barcelona to Düsseldorf was flown directly into a mountain in the French Alps by its co-pilot. 150 people lost their lives. In October 2013 a boat that had set off towards Europe from the coast of Libya sank off the Italian island of Lampedusa. More than 360 people died. In November 2015 three men entered the Bataclan in Paris and started shooting. 93 people died. We experience disasters like these principally as media events. These usually focus on the question of who is guilty. But what if we look at these events differently? What would happen if we could accept these painful incidents of our present, what if these moments of collective death can tell us something about our relationship with each other in life? Questions like these are examined by the Dutch artist Lotte van den Berg in her participatory performances Dying Together. The performers invite the public to take part in an exercise in thinking: audiences turn into participants by forming certain arrangements within the space based on the therapeutic method of “family constellations”. While in Part 1: Humans the focus is mainly on constellations between people, the world premiere in Bochum of Part 2: Earth focusses on animals and plants. If we recognise that we humans are part of a larger ecosystem, then what is our relationship to a nature that is dying?
