A new original production by the creative collective 8lidí.
Pleasant heat. Thick steam. The scent of citrus. Western society relaxes in sauna worlds, while global fire counts are hitting record highs and, two years ago, the human population on our planet surpassed 8 billion. Yet in elections around the world, environmental issues have long been falling by the wayside. Where else to find a solution but in the sauna? Conversations and images in the hot steam about the fire burning our planet and the fire burning within us.
How can we respond to climate change without burning out? What positive lessons can we take from this crisis? Where else can we agree on a solution than in the sauna? Sauna bathing supports the regeneration of the human body, releases happiness hormones, sharpens thoughts, calms the soul, and soothes sorrow. Rebirth through fire,
sauna rituals, conversations, and images in the hot steam about the fire consuming the planet and the fire within us.
Sauna-goer: The warmth feels good; I feel the fire in my body. I feel so incredibly good;
I finally feel alive, I feel myself smoldering, burning, burning for something—I’m finally alive!
