NAGASAKI
Wilderness Mute

Photography - Justin P Brown

NAGASAKI – Wilderness Mute (Natura Morta) is a collaborative multidisciplinary work, involving music, opera singing, projected images and Butoh dance, inspired by the event of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Japan in the year 1945. The work aims to commemorate the atomic attack and to raise awareness about the dangers of a new nuclear escalation on a worldwide level, in light of the current political and military tension between North Korea and the USA. Nuclear attacks and nuclear disasters (Chernobyl/Fukushima) have environmental effects on a global level, impacting directly on our lives and those of future generations. The work confronts us with the irreversible damage caused to planet Earth, our global home, forcing us to consider all decisions about nuclear armament. NAGASAKI - Wilderness Mute was commissioned by MOR (Music Of Remembrance) in 2017.
