Wood, Wood, Wood. Nothing’s ever good.

WOOD WOOD WOOD - NOTHING’S EVER GOOD understands the trees of the Białowieża Forest on the border between Poland and Belarus as records. An archive of repressed narratives. The sinister side of the romantic narrative of the idyllic forest.

Voices of displaced persons, animals and scientists from the past and present. The Bialowieza Forest, a natural forest with a unique wealth of species, can be experienced as a sound space. The performers follow traces and report on the violence that Jews suffered here during the German occupation, on the hunting of animals and humans and on the current situation on this outer border of Europe.

In the middle of it all is a DJ at his desk, busy looping pasts and presents; a sounding archive that tells of ideologizations, of dynamics of exclusion, of continuities of violence, but also of the importance of the forest as a refuge for plants, animals and people.
