PARKLIFE 3: Garden on the Grave // International

The audio event by finish performance group Wauhaus is partly an audiowalk, partly a death meditation tape, in which audiences are invited to participate in being guided around Assistens Kirkegaarden and fulfill particular tasks.

Garden on the Grave is a gathering, a guided group wandering and a slowly unfolding mirage. The site-sensitive audio performance invites the audience to an urban cemetery, a vibrant ‘living place’, where cultural and ecological processes are inseparably intertwined. The performance celebrates how the living and the dead are bound together in the constant processes of vital regeneration. It draws attention to our relations and interactions with the environment and gently questions notions of individuality, exceptionalism, and what we perceive as natural.

Garden on the Grave gives time and space for contemplation. The performance subtly guides the audience’s perception and invites the participants to engage in simple actions both alone and together.

Bring your smartphones and earphones and you are good to go.
