In English
Nothing Bigger Than Humanity invites you to feel what it means to be a human in today’s world, sharing one planet with billions of others. In this intergenerational gathering, we revisit recent world history from five continents, told by millennials who witnessed it first hand as children. An absurd war, an industrial tragedy, a mobilisation of musicians and two all-encompassing social experiments.
By joining the gathering*, you too become a witness to these stories. Your reactions are the deciding factor in how each gathering unfolds. Like this, no event will ever be the same.
All voices combined form one testimony of global power dynamics. Forces that disrupt even the most sincere attachments, leaving people torn between deep love and great fear. An untenable state of being that needs to be challenged, for the sake of our souls.
Nothing Bigger Than Humanity is carried by continuous live music, created by Ekaterina Levental, Anastasis Sarakatsanos and Andrea Voets.
