About the performance
Through an intimate narrative, Departure reveals the consequences of excessive exploitation of natural resources, which disrupts the balance of ecosystems. This imbalance manifests in the growing frequency of extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, heat waves and wildfires, affecting millions of people worldwide. Beyond ecological concerns, the performance also critiques inadequate spatial planning policies, where reckless infrastructure expansion and urban investment priorities exacerbate environmental vulnerability.
The performance Departure is part of the international Creative Europe Transport project, initiated by Slovenian director Tin Grabnar. In the 2024/2025 season, it connects six theatres from Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, and Poland.
The genre-diverse performances, characterised by hyper-realistic miniature visual imagery and complex soundscapes, unite audiences in an intimate confrontation with the pressing issues of contemporary society. The underlying theme of these performances, which are structurally and thematically intertwined, is the issue of transport as one of the main foundations of globalisation, driven by insatiable economic development.
"With the concrete story of a family who lost their house to a flood, Departure reacts realistically, directly and immediately to the reality we are confronted with: increasingly frequent storms, floods and landslides all over the world — consequences of the excessive exploitation of the environment, the overuse of natural resources and devastating climate change. The work repeatedly shows the disregard for the environment as an integrated natural system and its disproportionate subjugation to human needs." - Nika Arhar, Sigledal
