N̓aìla & Baìkvḷa
In the Haiìɫzaqv language, n̓aìla means cycle, season, firmament, day and weather. The Haiìɫzaqv are governed by and live our lives in seasons. The sky and weather are supernatural beings intertwined with our baìkvḷa cycle. Baìkvḷa means to harvest and preserve food for the winter, in line with Haiìɫzaqv laws to maintain the natural balance of the world. Learn how the sky, land, and ocean are connected in Haiìɫzaqv ways of knowing through the herring, a cultural and biological keystone species.

Virtual Humanity- A Zee Zee Theatre Production

2021-03-11

Virtual Humanity- A Zee Zee Theatre Production

Inspired the Human Library created by Stop The Violence (Copenhagen)
Saturdays & Sundays in March, 12 pm – 3pm via Zoom


Virtual Humanity is a new Zee Zee Theatre initiative, which pivots Human Library, our community-based storytelling event into a new digital platform. Zee Zee has produced Human Library over the past eight seasons, and is keen to reimagine the project for this new era, curated by Bunny (Daisy Joe) and Sam Chimes. 


In Virtual Humanity audience members select a title from the collection of 30+ “Virtual Humans” in the collection – something that intrigues them, confuses them. They will then proceed into a one-one-one digital face to face conversation with their “Virtual Human”, a person who will share the true personal story that is reflected in their title, over the course of 20 minutes. This is a project designed to shatter preconceived notions about otherhood, to challenge our biases and misunderstandings and put a human face to difference as a means to foster empathy.
