Abundance is an attempt to see new values in the materials and people around us, an attempt to shift focus from scarcity to abundance, an attempt to protect nature, piece by piece.  

 

A pile of broken snow sticks, bottles and other future microplastics are collected, grinded and melted into new winding pipes and colorful branches that can be clipped together. This is the building material for a collective performance in which the audience is invited to help build a large utopian jungle. When the construction has filled the room, it becomes the arena for 'Radio Skogen’, a small forest in need of protection on top of the Tromsø island.
