What if I tell you that somewhere in the North-East a new geological formation has been rising from the ground every day for the past 100 years or so.
A geological formation of human-made black mountains consisting of ashes and burned rocks from oil shale production.
Human-made artificial mountains, as the absolute image of what the anthropocene is:
A geological age in which human activity dominates all living and non-living matter.
Burnout – a gesture is a performance occupied with questions of how humans and the more-than-humans evolve, if living by the physical circumstances of the current energy production. How can we accept and live with the human-made monsters of the anthropocene instead of denying and displacing them?
Through choreographic gestures the performance brings, what otherwise operates in the periphery, to the centre stage of our focus. With a speculative physical practice it is searching for embodied sensitivities towards a toxic landscape of black mountains.
Rasmus Stenager Jensen is a performance artist from Denmark, currently based in Tallinn, Estonia. His artistic practice explores sensitivities towards that which lie outside of human perception and control.
He graduated his BA in Acting from the Norwegian Theatre Academy in 2018, where he trained and worked with artists such as Laurent Chétouane, Phillip Zarrilli, Robert Johanson (Nature Theater of Oklahoma) and Bianca Casady (CocoRosie).
From 2012-2014 he worked in Barcelona with the international theatre company Teatro de Los Sentidos, led by Enrique Vargas, with whom he performed in the performances Oráculos and Weaving Gothenburg, while obtaining his post-graduate in sensorial language and the poetics of game.
Between 2018-2022 he co-created a trilogy of performances evolving around intimate poetic meetings in and with the public urban sphere together with the theatre company Luna Park Scenekunst in Denmark.
He is the co-author and the performer of the choreography PASSAGES, which was presented at the Prague Quadrennial for Performance Design and Space (2019).
He has been co-curating the residency programme KORDON LAB on Food and Energy (2023-2024) in Hiiumaa, Estonia.
