SOLASTALGIA by KASIA WITEK


  • London United Kingdom (map)

Solastalgia is a new work by Polish-born dance artist Kasia Witek.

Drawing on Deborah Hay’s choreographic practice, the philosopher Timothy Morton’s writings on nature, and the work of Yorkshire-raised environmental artist Andy Goldsworthy, Solastalgia questions our perception of nature as “other”, inviting both performers and audience to fully experience the range of emotions the climate crisis evokes.
