Negative impacts of mining activities intertwine with nature as well as human lives. This project aims to point out concrete impacts the activities have had in the area of German Gatzen (near Leipzig) and open a dialogue, both on local and global level – are we ready for it? How many of us really take time to think about where our energy sources come from, as we take it for granted? Are we willing to give up the advantages of our civilisation to the benefit of our planet? Live performance Under the Surface is based on organic nature of human body, nature and the landscape.
