"Everything is one: The beginning, the end. But a snake, biting its own tail."
OUROBOROS is a cross-disciplinary theatrical art installation about the endless cycle of creation and re-creation, and the million-year long processes of the Earth. The things that to us may seem infinite, are but a blink of an eye in the lifetime of the universe.
A wheel of wax spinning underneath a heat lamp, melting and re-hardening, under the soft drone of a voice installation and surrounded by a warm, dark space reminiscent of the Earth’s core, invites the audience to consider deep time and how Earth is a living being just like us, constantly changing.
Presented at the Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
