“Resurrect In Peace (R.I.P.)” is a funeral for a bird. More than one hundred years ago the passenger pigeon was driven to extinction. Now it will be given a farewell. In the midst of the sixth mass extinction “R.I.P.” celebrates the mortality of all existence and questions the political potential of a possible resurrection. The work is inspired by a group of scientists who are currently trying to de-extinct the passenger pigeon by means of genetic engineering. At HAU3, three performers will become the masters of ceremony for this tech intensive burial. Tracking devices register their movements and turn them into data that is sent into a digital ecosystem. Their bodies become bridges between the physical and the virtual, the absent and the present. “R.I.P.” is a space for interspecies grief, a ceremonial admission of guilt, a lament in computer graphics.
