Mono Poly. Monopoly.
Moving through a monocultural forest, we express the mood of the contained ecosystem through our bodies with movement and sound. As we enter our space the group is invited to enter into harmony and diversity of expression as we practice care for the natural world by experimenting with creating diverse boundaries and connections between the wild fungi and other objects. This mirrors the Irish mythology of fairy rings - instead of humans being cursed for crossing the fungi rings, we notice the mushrooms and take care not to destroy them through the construction of pine boundaries.
