Choreographer Kari Hoaas continues her commitment to investigate an extreme and organic physicality, within the emotional mathematics of choreographic structures, in this new production for five distinct dancers. Created towards the background of fear the selfmade apocolypse of climate change represents, she has in this work chosen a poetic and impressionistic vein, to explore that basic element of all life: water.
Water is essential for all life forms, from the macro perspective of the planet to the micro perspective of single cellular life. Our bodies are seventy percent water. It is thus our most precious commodity. We as humans are a sea of liquids making a structure and shape, an organismic configuration, a form, a geometry, a pattern of pulsation leading to certain patterns of experienced life, feeling, and thinking both within ourselves and in the exchange with others.
"Our world today is full of fear and division. Images of war, floods, drought, disasters, pollution and humans struggling for survival or empowerment are everywhere. I hope by acknowledging this as a background for my work, that it can ignite sparks of hope and compassion for the conditions of our shared world." – Kari Hoaas
The venue is YARAT Contemporary Art Centre, Multifunctional Room. Entrance is free.
