Directed by Mayra Stergiou
In an Icy land of ruins, a human being and a polar bear are meeting in an encounter of surviving the Anthropocene Era.
“An Ice Thing to Say” is an experimental dance film that blends Ice installation, original music and contact improvisation to explore our impact on nature. Drawing on inspiration from Erich Fromm’s book ‘To Have or to Be?’ and our personal diaries from lockdown, we invite the audience into a multi sensory experience of our inner and outer icy landscapes.
