Fill the Earth
current Project
Seven stories about how we fill the earth, our space and our lives.
A multidisciplinary performance and sculptural installation work, incorporating both live and digital performance, Fill the Earth explores the effects of daily human actions on our planet.
Fill the Earth is a collaborative performance and sculptural installation work which manifests as live and digital performance, dance and theatre, conceived by Juha Vanhakartano.
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.
Sixteen established artists from diverse cultural backgrounds and artistic practices, have created seven individual responses to the provocation to Fill The Earth. 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 is presented as a live performance intersecting with digital imagery.

“[An] offering that will appeal to those who are looking for a performance piece that challenges the concept of conventional storytelling.”
“Across seven sharply different, deeply engaging, thought-provoking works, Fill The Earth goes places far beyond the physical span of the space [the] works are confined.”
“[Fill the Earth] challenges the audience to question their footprint on this earth metaphysically and physically.”
