Gry Worre HALLBERG is the artistic director of the award-winning and Copenhagen-based performance group Sisters Hope. Their radical innovative work unfolds at the intersection of immersion, intervention, activism, research, and pedagogy. In large-scale durational performances they explore different aspects of what they refer to as a ‘Sensuous Society’ – a potential new world arising from the post-economical and ecological crisis. In the ongoing and groundbreaking five-year performance, Sisters Hope Home, they are introducing a new artistic paradigm called ‘inhabitation’ which stimulates ecologic connectedness and sustainable futures.
