1h

This includes a 20 minute long site-specific sound performance by sound artist Nathanael Amadou Kliebhan, in dialogue with the two dancers Maia Joseph and Tiffani Achilleas. The sound includes abstracted electronically influenced sounds that are being woven together and composed live on site.

Two dancers will be wearing costumes that were created by artist Theresa Weber, and symbolically mark the body as infinitely transforming rhizomatic network. They can be seen as an extension of her blue fabric installations on site, that refers to the colonial history of the indigo blue.

Through improvisation, the dancers are going to interact with the soundscape, embodying two healing and shapeshifting Goddesses of righteousness and justice.

Inspired by Caribbean Carnival as protest and celebration of beauty, this performance is shaped by feelings of softness and nostalgia, as well as transformation and self-empowerment.
