Wood, Wood, Wood. Nothing's ever good.

In the organizer's words:

WOOD WOOD WOOD - NOTHING'S EVER GOOD examines the history of the huge Białowieża Forest on the border of Poland and Belarus and its forgotten and repressed narratives. The forest is what we want to see in it: romantic idyll, place of refuge, tsarist hunting ground, object of research and home to countless animal and plant species - but also a place of resistance and scene of extreme violence.

The performers follow these trails and report on the violence that Jews and partisans suffered here during the German occupation, on the hunting of animals and humans and also on the current situation on this outer border of Europe. In this German-Polish performance, the past and present of the forest becomes an acoustic archive that tells of ideologizations, of dynamics of exclusion, of continuities of violence in these "Bloodlands", but also of the importance of the forest as a refuge for plants, animals and people. And in the middle of it all: a DJ at his desk, busy looping pasts and presents.
