Human LandscapesDiorama2025In Human Landscapes, the LaPerformance company explores the inner conflict of humans between their connection to and detachment from nature. The attempt to utilize and control nature has created a rift between it and us. Can we continue to live within the systems we have created, which both sustain and destroy us?This ambivalence lies at the heart of the piece. On stage, two universes designed as dioramas come into resonance: one female and one male. Two compositions of a constructed nature. Dioramas, with their old-fashioned 19th-century charm, depict ecosystems and illusions alike. Here, protagonists of middle age become potential museum objects, oscillating between needs and social roles. Is this a reflection of an old world, or does the fragility of being human hold the seed for a new community?
