is a site-responsive, eco-choreographic practice by David Kummer and DISCOllective. It shifts attention from the individual body towards landscape, from inside to outside, from the near to the distant.
Through resting, digesting, immersing and dancing, it opens spaces between bodies, plant life, imagination and environment. The boundaries between ourselves and the site become porous.
The performance is an invitation to pause together and attend to what emerges within that pause. Audience members are explicitly invited to join this open performance and spend time with the performers in the Planthropausescene.
Devised, choreographed, performed and produced by plants, sites, David Kummer, DISCOllective
In collaboration with Erratica, Rareca, Tanzhalle Wiesenburg, Krater
Planthropausescene has been emerging from the artistic residencies at Erratica since 2022.
Il progetto Erratica coabitazioni all’ Hangar di Albanella era sostenuto nel 2024 da Creative Living Lab – Edizione 5, promosso dalla Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea del Ministero della Cultura.
Here are mentioned the occurances of Planthropausescene in mainstream understanding of (dance) performance. Planthropausescene is always also a performance. Sometimes the audience is mainly composed of more then human beings.

Last week, 30.7.2026, DISCOllective got a sensation that PP enters into performing spaces that are enormous. You watch them from afar, your attention goes through walls, people, events, that are at the huge physical distances. It is a mycelium stage.
