Handlinger i Jorden is a new regeneration myth about the abuse of our planet’s natural resources and present exhaustion of our ecosystems. It’s about finding new tools and insisting on transformation by providing our soil nourishment and moisture.
Following Persephone, the goddess of crops, who is abducted and dragged underground by Plutone, the king of the underworld. We experience on close hand, her loss of self and direction being surrounded by the dark soil – her dissolvement. She regenerates, adapts, develops plant senses and sprouts.
