Theatre collective Gouden Haas visits the Reinwardt Academy for a special performance on 12 May. Together we mourn the loss of biodiversity at the academy. Together we reflect on the loss of the gentian blue, the slender-billed curlew and other species lost forever. What does it mean that they are no longer there? We ask what mourning and rituals can mean in our dealings with the climate crisis. What is the point of ‘passing things on to the future’ if that future is so uncertain? Can rituals help us with the psychological complexity of climate change? The performance is part of the Artist in Residence programme Performing Heritage by the Reinwardt Academy.
