The artistic research
For centuries, the passenger pigeon ruled the skies over North America and was the most numerous bird species on Earth.
In the 1800s, a massive slaughter of the species began. When Martha the passenger pigeon died in 1914 at the Cincinnati Zoo, she was the only living passenger pigeon left in the world. With their residency at HAUT, the group of artists behind Martha's Dream will explore how Martha, the last passenger pigeon, can be brought back to life today. How does she move? How does she sound? And how does she get a voice? They will explore how the existential story of being the last one left in the world might sound and look from a bird's eye view. Using film, scenography, and music, they will test and try this out and draw the first sketches for “Martha's Dream.”
the artists
Martha's Dream is the first chapter in LIFE & DEATH – a planned series of works about time and loss by Anastasia Nørlund (director) and Julian Juhlin (artist/set designer).
Anastasia Nørlund, Julian Juhlin, Frigge Fri, Jesper Moeslund, Sigurd Dissing, and Roe Ørslev have been invited to participate in the residency through the open call IN PROCESS – SORG, which focused on providing a stage for artists who are drawn to exploring the worlds of death, loss, and grief in a performative context. The open call was curated in collaboration with Andreas Constantinou.
