DIVE INTO NATURE

create – imagine – perform

DIVE INTO NATURE is a participatory project created by Elisabeth Schilling for young people aged 12 to 20. In a series of workshops, young people worked with professional artists to create an interdisciplinary stage performance combining dance, video, music, design and poetry, which was presented on the CAPE stage at the end of September 2024.

‘For the launch of this new season at CAPE, experience with us the ‘Dive into Nature’ project: a unique artistic performance that fuses design, movement, video and poetry to offer an extraordinary sensory experience. Driven by the overflowing creativity of the young participants and the collaborative spirit that unites them, this show will surprise the audience with its astonishing visual landscape as well as its creative spontaneity. Under the direction of choreographer Elisabeth Schilling and with the special contribution of a creative team composed of Anja Meder-Di Bartolomeo (@anjadibartolomeo ) David Laplant (@laplantfilm ) and Natercia Rebelo, young people aged 12 to 19 joined forces for four months to bring this collective work to life. Through a series of workshops, the participants were able to explore their own artistic path, thus contributing to the creation of this unique show. The performance will be accompanied by the haunting melodies of Norwegian violinist Mari Samuelson’s album Lys, which features only female compositions from all eras, from Hildegard von Bingen to Beyoncé, to add a characteristic musical dimension to this production.’
