Presented during Genesis on Water – a performance art festival in Badteater (Boat theater) in Nyhavn, Copenhagen. Through varying performative formats, the festival invites audiences to dive into body, senses, auditive spaces and visual installations.
Experience four different performances, video installation, and a live concert; all of them circling around the same subjects: The female body, sensuality, transformation, senses, erotisism, body ideals, and water. The festival widely spands from butoh to text, from sweat to feministic water splashes, to a floating soundsscape bathed in video projections.
