The Green Man

“The only thing that can grow is the thing you give energy to” -Ralf Waldo Emerson. Spaceship Earth Salon features THE GREEN MAN, in a ongoing nonstop 10 hour (!) discordian chaos-magical act by performance artist and bodyworker Esben Vinsnes. The green man appears in many forms. Found in many cultures around the world, the Green Man is often related to natural vegetative deities springing up in different cultures throughout the ages. Primarily it is interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, or “renaissance,” representing the cycle of growth each spring. With a rich and layered background from physical theater, martial arts training and energy work, Esben Vinsnes is an experimental artist working with improvisatoric performance in varying spaces exploring the tension and reaction between body, mind and intuition. He is also one of Scandinavias few Kettlebell specialists and runs the holistic bodywork studio Falcon Body Works.
