Performance synopsis

‘Kuuki’ is the Japanese word for air. It consists of kanji signs defining the sky, the atmosphere and energy. For the artists of this production, ‘Kuuki’ means above all movement. The dancers and instrumentalists take the viewers on a shared search for materiality in what is so fleeting. They invite the air to be touched, felt, listened to. In this delicate, safe space, they look for mutual experiences and inspire each other. Movement, sound and image – filled with air. For ages 0-18 months.
