NATURE WILD
Soldiers coming home. Not to their family and everyday life, but to the forests. After facing war on the very edge of civilisation, they retreat to nature … to the wilderness.
Based on interviews with returning soldiers and their family members Nature Wild unfolds as a hybrid of documentary video set design, electronic beats, opera, indie, dance and performance art … The body’s own sound in between breaking branches.
Nature Wild is based on real stories … for a year the performance artist Tine Louise Kortermand has been travelling around in Denmark interviewing returning soldiers and their family members.Based on these interviews contra tenor Daniel Carlsson (S), dancer Taneli Torma (FI), electronic musician Aku Raski (FI) and video- sound- and performance artist Tine Louise Kortermand (DK) creates the music dramatic performance, telling about solidarity, about feeling alienated from the closest relatives, to live in parallel worlds and to sink into the dark – and rise to the surface again.
