Symbiosis presents the results of a ten-day residency of individual and collective experimentation between artists and youth workers from Afghanistan, Armenia, France, Egypt, Germany, Hungary, Italy, India, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey and Ukraine, exploring their emotional relationship with the environment.

Wild colours Wild senses

Tiffanie Ferro - Ronan Kirsch - Gaëlle de Laveleye - Javier Mansbach - Liepa Petkuté - Anna Sára Rumi

Part I – Wild Colours
With natural elements that we collected in the surroundings, we have created a colour palette. Children were invited to recompose a wide fresco landscape with the paintings. The colours took over our bodies and gave birth to wild creatures to inhabit the landscape.

Part II – Wild Senses
Tonight we invite you to colour up yourself, to carry colour prints on your faces. Later, join an immersive sound experience. Let your senses guide you in becoming one with our environment, our human community and your wild inner nature.

Treasure boxes

Letting kids explore the garden and find a natural treasure. They will take it and put it in a match box which they will decorate into a mini box of treasure.

Ritual

Kathy Hermanns & Ronan Kirsch

On the 3rd of june 6 planets were aligning and we designed a ritual around this phenomenon.

Flower wreath

Marwa Latrach & Noémi Vajliková

Children arriving in the garden unleashed their creativity and crafted a nature-inspired crown using leaves and flowers found in the garden.

A ram sam sam

Marwa Latrach

We did a dancing circle with the kids with a very suitable dance called A ram zam zam. I was with Shyrley in the middle of the circle, we did the movements of the dance and the children repeated with us.

Traum-â

Angélique Bruot

Traum-â is an invitation to experience through sounds and dance how trauma for trees and humans can be felt and how making Symbiosis can help to heal those traumas.

Ici

Hanna Zwierzchowska

Where is here? How we are connecting to it? How the surroundings affect us and what impact we make on nature? „Ici” is following the outside and inside landscape looking for either contrasting forms or binding situations. The collages are exploring the term „ici” („here”) on
a global scale, as on a human point of view and microscale. The visuals play with organic and geometric shapes, underlining how the landscape can be divided by human influence.

Non-human friend

Mariam Radwan

Experimental performance with Kids. To be a tree.
To raise the awareness of the children and new generation about how to care for nature and trees.
To sensitise the audience about the importance of trees.

Five-stone path

Ronan Kirsch

Navigation through eco-anxiety is a joyful path! By the side of the Mamoul River, Ronan invited us into a journey inspired by The Amerindians and First Nations, the ‘Work that Reconnects’ (Joanna Macy) and Philosophy of Baptiste Morizot, into a renewed relationship between humans and non humans to reconcile The Livings.

Voice of Earth

Iuliia Kniupa

In the midst of the incredible and almost idyllic nature of Kornak, take a moment to immerse yourself in another reality, where very similar wildlife endures the devastating effects of war every day. Reflect on the impact of this experience and consider a new level of terrorism in the modern world – one that targets nature itself. Let the Earth know how you feel as you confront this small but powerful immersive experience.
