Nothing Bigger Than Humanity is an interactive live performance built on stories from millennials on four continents who witnessed world history as children. Live music and audience reactions shape each show, reconnecting us to our shared humanity.

Witnessing history

Nothing Bigger Than Humanity invites you to feel what it means to be human in today’s world. In this gathering, we revisit recent world history from four continents, told by millennials who witnessed it first hand as children. An absurd war, an industrial tragedy, a mobilisation of musicians and an all-encompassing social experiment.

By joining this event, you too become a witness to these stories. After each scene, all guests are invited to share their thoughts. These live reactions are the deciding factor in how each day unfolds. No performance will ever be the same.

Historic events
• Bhopal gas tragedy, India (1984)
• Hidden ‘black’ children of the One Child Policy, China (1976-2016)
• Iran-Iraq War (1980-1989)
• State and narco violence, Mexico (1980s, 1990s, 2000s)

Shared humanity

All voices combined form one big testimony of global power dynamics. Forces that disrupt even the most sincere bonds between humans, leaving people torn between deep love and great fear. During Nothing Bigger Than Humanity, we break free from that impossible state of being by relating once again to the humanity we all share.

The performance is carried by continuous live music by Sarah Jeffery (recorders & voice), Yung Tuan Ku (vibraphone & percussion) and Andrea Voets (harp & electronics).
