Marta & Kim ^(NOR/NED) ENGEL 25-26 September 2019

Programme

Meet circus artist Marta Alstadsæter and dancer Kim-Jomi Fischer in an intimate evening where dance and acrobatics meet across genres.

A physical dialogue where Marta and Kim ask questions about consciousness through constant shifting of weight, direction and movement. Where do our thoughts come from? Angels is a performance about inner struggle and decision-making.

Marta and Kim met in 2015. Their different histories became the basis for a thriving collaboration. In the years since, they have created their own artistic expression by delving into the possibilities and qualities of the symbiosis between acrobatics and dance.
