Description

How does climate disaster affect our sense of belonging? What is climate in the arts right now? 

BURNING WILD is an original interdisciplinary performance created in response to the California wildfires of 2020. It began as a community gathering circle to support Northern Californians affected by the wildfires. 

Recent 2020 fire survivors themselves, Debórah and Noor draw from their lived experience using personal stories of their relationship to home and placemaking from the Middle East to the Bay Area. 

Through devised text, song, movement and documentary video, Burning Wild explores a collaged docu-myth about the land, displacement, trauma, and renewal. 

In a time when a prolonged megafire season is an annual occurrence, Burning Wild offers an opportunity for resilience, hope and community healing. This is done by returning agency back to the audience and blurring performance distinctions such as dance, theater, audio design and song with social justice and cultural advocacy.
