[…] Stinging, biting, provocative: the new creation by Trickster-p really bears the likeness of its title, “nettles”. The mechanism they trigger is truly remarkable: childhood, which should represent the beginning of life, becomes instead the privileged medium for reflecting on its end, and two different ages, almost unknown to each other, learn to gently come into contact, to dialogue, to coexist. A journey at times stark, but eventually certainly not without hope.

Hardwald walk

Trickster-p — Projects — Hardwald walk

In spring 2021, ROXY Birsfelden launched Vier eins zwei sieben los, a triptych of three audio projects developed for three different locations in the municipality of Birsfelden. In this context, Trickster-p has created an audio walk through the legendary Hardwald forest. Hardwald walk invites the listeners to explore the surrounding space by coming in connection with the vegetable kingdom to reflect on the relationship between our bodies and the world of plants.
