›Extinction Room (Hopeless.)‹, is a performative multi-channel sound installation that immerses visitors in the acoustic worlds of extinct and endangered bird species.
Throughout a soundscape of bird calls, cries and songs, developed in collaboration with composer AGF (aka Antye Greie), three performers recount the stories of these species. Scientific narratives of extinction interweave with myths. Folk songs and dances are brought to life. The emotional load – the sorrow – is intensified by the performers who lead us through these traumatic experiences of loss, and of losses yet to come.

In German and English language.
