Annihilation - Thomas Ryckewaert

A biologist joins an expedition to Area X: a zone where nature has reconquered the land and previous expeditions ended in disappearance, madness or suicide. She is the only one to return. She is placed in quarantine and an anonymous agency interrogates her to be able to reconstruct what happened. But what returns from Area X no longer coincides with who was sent out. “If I don't have real answers, it's because we still don't know what questions to ask. Our instruments are useless, our methodology broken, our motives selfish.” – ‘Annihilation’, Jeff VanderMeer Thomas Ryckewaert and performer Ika Schwander make a theater adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer's cult novel ‘Annihilation’ – a universe where horror, science fiction and ecology come together. Field diary fragments, interrogation, scientific observations and flashbacks form a labyrinth in which the boundary between observer and observed begins to leak. ‘Annihilation’ is climate fiction for the stage.
