Johannes Zits

Johannes Zits Works With Live Art Danmark 2019 “Dialoguing With Trees”, Live Art for Børn 2019 Performance Recipe for “Performance Opskrivter” Dialoguing With Trees For this performance Johannes put himself into an empathic state with some trees and attempted to convey to them the divergent impressions of nature within an art context.

As the lights gradually and artfully come up, all ten members of the cast stand motionless facing the audience, reciting a series of statements about life in late capitalism, swelling into a chorus of pressure, not knowing and confusion. Ten minutes into the show they, again only gradually, begin to […]
