Warm up

When faced with climate change, the following challenge emerges: forgoing natural resources and finding alternatives. Alone onstage on a bike that produces the electricity necessary to run the show, Mykalle explores stripping down to the bare minimum, downsizing and decarbonation in order to imagine the possibilities of a world without commercial oil. Using only what remains – breath, voice, body, contact with the public and ritual – she strives to find a more balanced relationship with nature. Warm up is a wakeup call on our limits, as well as a reflection on the deeper meaning of activism, community and the role of the artist.
