When neither sun nor moon testify to its passage, time flows along other channels. In Knoster we enter a space where time is felt, rather than measured. Where dance emerges from the oscillation between counterweight and concession - between weight and weightlessness. Where the weight of labour becomes a path to the lightness of dance. A listening to the rhythm of the body and the sound of the movements.<\/p>\n
Knoster explores time as a physical experience. Using a knot as a dance partner and sounding board, Erik Eriksson lets the body respond to the imprint of history. The sense of duration and change seems to slow down, speed up and remain constant in a space both in and beyond time.<\/p>\n
As screens and information feeds consume our waking hours, Knoster recalls a different kind of temporality - one that is felt in the body, rather than measured by machines. Stillness, silence and the breath of labour tell their own stories in a swirling dance. A contemplative experience to step into, like a forest, or settle down by, like a fire.<\/p>\n
