Thanks to all the people who have been part of this journey!
Five people at the time are invited into the space for the length of approximately 30 minutes. They are told they can move, stand, sit, or lay on the floor, that when the door opens again, they can leave at their own time. They are given a paper with the events of the performance.
In the white cube the audience encounter the humid ”body“ of seaweed, that has been sown together on that very day in the same place. The sown seaweed is hanging from a metal bar and reaches the level of the head. The audience is given the time to interact with the seaweed in their own way. They can place themselves wherever in the space and tune into the olfactory dimensions of the work, as the voice of the performer reading a text, impregnates the space. The text that is read does not serve an informational purpose, but creates yet another layer in the space - another material that resonates with the whole, as a sensorial and breathing element to experience.
