Digital performance Eco Village is a coproduction of Bombina Bombast and Sydhavn Teatern, premiering in May 2023 in Malmö in cooperation with Center for Everything. Samee Haapa, the artistic director for Center for Everything, has participated the production as a researcher consulting especially in the questions regarding to consent in participatory performances.
Eco Village is a political satire about an isolated community of idealists who seem to exist behind a soft Instagram filter. Here, the inhabitants live a life in harmony with nature, with their toes in the soil and home-grown potatoes in their mouths – that’s how it appears from the outside anyway. How can they be online 24/7?
Gradually, the cracks in the garden of paradise become visible. At whose expense is the image of the perfect, sustainable society maintained? When the scenes fall, we see what is really at stake.
The performance is primarily a digital livestream but there is a chance to participate for a few audience members in person. Follow @ecovillageperformance for more information.
