Anoxic Meditation – A Theatre in Palm Performance

Discover the creative work of 5 emerging artists within the project Theatre in Palm. The artists worked around the themes of “Social Impact” and “Environmental Sustainability” during two weeks at Teater Giljotin and the result was presented at the Stockholm Fringe Festival 2024.

”Nothing was heard, save a small but heavy and cumbersome breath of dusty air”

Anoxic Meditation is an experimental performance that combines movement, music, sound and text to highlight our impact on the Earth. In a dystopic and post-apocalyptic environment, where oxygen is low, the remaining humans try to survive and find moments of joy, beauty and stillness.

Background:  In 2024, the Theatre in Palm partner countries organised residencies for emerging artists. Each of the 12 partner countries hosted five artists for two weeks in their local venues. Theatre in Palm’s residencies gave the artists an opportunity for professional development and to build their networks in Europe. The main goal of the residencies was to foster collaboration, inspire and share insights and experiences while creating new relationships. Each residency worked on a co-production that took many different forms: plays, scripts, performance works, recorded performances, videos, text or paintings.
