Bára Sigfúsdóttir & Eivind Lønning ^(ISL) Tide 22-23 November 2019

Programme

Two bodies, two masses, move slowly towards each other, creating a delicate play between music and movement. Like the inevitable movement of the tide, the notes and the body also flow through time and space. Connected and constantly influenced by each other.

For the public, the TIDE a performance that can be experienced not only with the eyes and ears, but also through the skin and with the whole self.
