We live in an era of extinction. Will we ever be able to name what we are losing? What does it mean to witness a violence of which we are both the perpetrator and the victim?

Choreographer Crystal Pite and artistic director of Complicité Simon McBurney exchanged ideas, each on a different continent, about both their fears and their cautious hope for our time. They used a rich and surprising collection of sources: from the sound of melting ice caps to the loud protests of climate change deniers, from neuroscience lectures about the brain to the chatter of Instagram influencers.

Together, they created three works for NDT 1 over a period of four years. This work offers a glimmer of light in the darkness for where we – collectively, spiritually, and full of imagination – may be headed.
