Flight shame? Climate complexes? Want to reduce your carbon footprint but don't know how? Then come to Carbon Negative! This performance is not only climate-neutral, but climate-positive. Your visit actively contributes to improving the carbon footprint because we overcompensate our harmful emissions.
Flinn Works presents innovative ideas and certified options from the CO₂ compensation laboratory: classic methods such as reforestation and solar stove projects, but also new approaches such as enhanced rock weathering, algae cultivation, direct air capture and storage and crypto-coins based on AI-controlled monitoring of the Amazon.
The clock is ticking. Our climate budget is almost exhausted. We can no longer afford to wait for perfect solutions or systemic change. Perhaps the 1.5 degree target is still achievable after all if we use smart technologies on a large scale and make them marketable? Or are such climate protection projects ultimately just greenwashing and green colonialism?
Think with us. Join in the decision. For a better future!
Between laboratory, interaction and audiovisual performance, Carbon Negative opens up a space for reflection, irritation and possibilities for action.

Supported by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion of the State of Berlin, Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, the Hessian Ministry of Science and Research, Art and Culture as well as the Cultural Office of the City of Kassel and the Gerhard Fieseler Foundation.
Flinn Works (Berlin) works on themes of globalization with a focus on postcolonial and feminist issues. The performances and installations are based on intensive research and use the personal attitudes of the international participants for a multi-perspective dramaturgy. At the interface between ethnology and documentary formats, productions are created that develop their form as a consequence of the content and the talents of the team involved. Flinn Works has won three META Awards in New Delhi, the Förderpreis der Zürcher Kantonalbank, the Tabori Award of the Fonds Darstellende Künste and the Prize of the International Theater Institute Germany. The projects will be shown in Germany, Switzerland, India and Tanzania.
