Kairos
84 Tottenham Ct Rd, London W1T 4TG, UK (Google Maps)
This evening's multi-disciplinary performance interweves song, the environment, drama and history. It centres on Rosa Luxemburg who was assassinated for her political activity.
We will relate her life to the present-day climate crisis. Can you and I change the world for the better?
Featuring writer and actor Amanda Douge and mezzo-soprano Amy Kearsley. (Find Amy on Instagram)
Mezzo-soprano Amy Kearsley and I met in the Lake District last year. We will perform around five songs by Schubert, Chopin and other composers of the romantic period. There’ll be words by Rosa Luxemburg’s favoured poets, Goethe and Mickiewicz. The songs are interwoven with Amanda’s monologues.
If you are used to standard concerts, please note that this evening will be very different. It's a theatrical performance with music.
The event is focused on the climate crisis. Rosa Luxemburg was a major political figure and the performance is therefore likely to contain political topics and opinions.
Amanda's literary performance “Rosa Luxemburg and I” aims to release the radical, ecological imagination towards new, revolutionary ways of being.
In this piece, historical figure and socialist revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg becomes a conduit for reflection on earth systems damage, the capitalist status quo and eco-socialist potentials. The performance asks: can our individual "I" find its way to climate revolution and solidarity?
Kairos is a club dedicated to addressing the climate emergency and related topics.
Phones and electronic devices are not allowed to be used in the building.
