The performances of The Collective of Natural Disasters, established in 1984, cannot easily be described as either theatre, dance, exhibition, object art, assemblage, video-installation, radio-play or concert, as they are based on elements of all these genres. The spectators find themselves in strange situations, as they wander around, receiving only fragmentary memories, scrap of notes, objects left behind, and strangely edited speeches and video footages. Though their attention is directed to some extent by the dramaturgy of light and the order of the footages, their perception is attacked from all sides: events happen in parallel with each other. The performances do not offer easy solutions, but gently help you to open your mind and question stereotypes and well-known habits through free associations.
