Landscape (1989) Emergency Chorus

Malvern Cube

Date & Time: Wednesday 13th November 7.30pm
Tickets: £10

A razed forest, a cluster of mushrooms and two people walking towards the horizon. One foot in front of the other.

Placing their ears to the forest floor, award winning performance makers Emergency Chorus explore the secret life of mushrooms — and what they might say to us in an age of climate emergency.

Landscape (1989) artfully weaves together the history of mushroom hunting in Oregon, the early life of John Cage, and apocalypse fiction: a haunting vision of ruin and repair. Through choreography, found text, live cooking and striking imagery, Landscape (1989) invites audiences to pay attention to the slower, stranger world of fungi. In the face of catastrophe, how do we go on?​
