Resurrection

Resurrection is a procession made with discarded props and sets found in the Graz theater warehouse. Remnants of other cultural productions, these props were originally created to represent nature in the backdrop of stages. These trees, stones, flowers, and clouds often disappear into storage, waiting to be discarded. On the verge of becoming trash, the objects exist in a liminal space, between culture and nature, past and future.

In a fictional ritual, a choir carries these objects from the church to the city park, singing a song about work, exhaustion, and regeneration.
