Acts of Care is a performance installation where a big plastic bubble lands on public places. It invites the people passing by to enter and receive care.
Acts of care provides hospice to the mankind in a moment of crisis and inevitable change. The bubble is a tent, an intimate space, a fantastic chappel, a place to rest. The audience steps in and may stay as long as they wish. In the bubble performers help the visitors to encounter themselves as part of the life circulation and to yield into being a part of our shared planet with different kind of acts of care.
For us “care” means also trying to study and rehearse what happens when we try to make post-fossil art.
The performance is a production of Theater Circus Maximus, a Helsinki-based theatre association focusing on experimental forms of performance.
Supported also by Finnish Cultural Foundation and Kone foundation.
