Fill the Earth

upcoming Project

Fill the Earth is a multidisciplinary performance and sculptural installation work which incorporates both live and digital performance and explores the effects of daily human actions on the planet.

Created by
Juha Vanhakartano

Fill the Earth is a collaborative performance and sculptural installation work which manifests as live and digital performance, dance and theatre. The project explores how the “ripple and butterfly” effects of human actions and current thinking influences our daily lives, and how this simultaneously impacts the natural environment and ultimately the planet. 

Eleven established artists from diverse cultural and artistic backgrounds will create six individual but intersecting looped performance/installation videos. These works are then presented live and in a digital format in the same setting. The work is created, performed, and filmed on a 3.5m round stage which represents the “limitations” of the physical, emotional and spiritual space, and boundaries which define planet earth. 

The project creates a context for an ensemble of diverse artists from theatre, dance, visual arts and video to engage and exchange ideas, processes, and the outcomes of their work.

“[Fill the Earth] challenges the audience to question their footprint on this earth metaphysically and physically.”
