BLOOM&DOOM | poetic riot

Fall 2021

BLOOM&DOOM is an experience to communicate the emergency of climate collapse and inspire people to act now for a possible and more sustainable future. In a middle ground between a guided tour, a party and an activist action, BLOOM&DOOM invites the public to actively participate in an immersive experience in town. A wandering clan of young people will lead the public in an urban ritual. Along the way, the children and young people will pass on to the audience (the adults) their knowledge on how to adapt, how to survive, how to be autonomous, how to keep dreaming in a collapsing world. Hand in hand adults and children will cross the city in search of a sense for the future. Children may find themselves in difficulty, adults may also find themselves in difficulty. We all are. What is the danger if the worst risk is caused by us adults, day after day?
We must have faith in the children and the plants: only they can show us the way.
