Sung Im Her's 1 Degree Celsius

Through her signature electrifying movement style, pulsating music and dynamic light design, Sung Im Her | Her Project's exhilarating new production 1 Degree Celsius invites us to consider the question: How can art spark action in the face of the climate crisis?
Featuring seven dancers, 1 Degree Celsius (research title: The Breath Factory) looks at the topic of climate change and the effects it is having on the environment. As with all Her's work, music and light form an essential and innovative character in the production. A new musical score has been created using data collected from rising atmospheric temperatures, and the lighting design is co-ordinated to the rising temperature of the earth.
At the beginning of the creation process, Her considered the question: Is the way we live our daily lives truly sustainable, and what are the consequences of our choices? Modern life prioritizes efficiency—producing more, consuming more, earning more, and spending more. While urban living offers comfort and convenience, it also leaves behind an unsettling legacy for future generations. How can we change? What can we do? These small, seemingly powerless questions often vanish into the void, unheard. Whilst the title 1 Degree Celsius may seem insignificant, even the slightest shift in temperature poses a grave threat to all living things on Earth. In this production, Her asks us to consider how no action is too small—every gesture matters in shaping the future we wish to create.
