(speculative) resurgence
(Speculative) Resurgence according to non-speculative sources was designed for De Parade, a Dutch theater festival.
De Parade is a time capsule. Preserved in a past temporality in which globalization, or political voices were not relevant. Climate change is a reality, getting more tangible with every new catastrophe. Climate change will
enter De Parade bubble, and this time capsule will have to resurge to exist. It will have to adapt and find solutions
to be maintained.
Soils could become a powerful tool in this global fightand can reverse climate change, but it needs a voice, and De Parade could give it a stage.
<Speculative> Resurgence is an inviting performance. The theatre is a medium that can deliver urgencies with strength. Thus, by engaging in a Tragedy or a Comedy placed in 2052, the experience triggers different decisions for our future. It conveys the message that we can and need to enable farmers and food systems to evolve. This interactive way of engaging with climate change pushes
participants to go beyond agreeing but acting.
