The three artists share an interest in collaboratively creating a space that unfolds from the direct interplay of music and dance, exploring, transforming and researching new possibilities for interaction. Together they search for sonic relations, for subtle details that manifest themselves between instrument and body, between music and movement, allowing a space to emerge in the moment of creation that is specific, alive and in a constant state of change. This evening is an invitation to immerse yourself in this ever new, open dimension of music, dance and improvisation.
