This small book of poems, is a passage between the performances “Mediating Nature” 2023 & “The Forests’ Trial” 2024.
It's given to the audience in the performance “Mediating Nature”. The grieving introduction invites the audience /reader as jury to represent the list of 2663 endanger species in the world, crossing the entire book, along side 374 grieving poems for the disappearance of 11 colors in the world. The parallelism between these two lists, species and colors disappearences, intends to awaken in the reader, sadness and hopefully, the urgent need to act collectively in defense of Nature, or at least evoque a wish to participate in decreasing the rapid destruction we are witnessing of our ecosystems.
The book prepares the audience for next performance: “The Forests’ Trial”, a fictional staged trial created in defense of those who cannot speak: Nature.
