Through an extre­me lands­ca­pe, made out of the logic of foam, you make your way in bet­ween sus­pen­ded time, tra­ces of water and petrol. It see­ms like nothing can hap­pen here. Yet, under­ne­ath trans­for­ma­ti­on lin­gers. Balancing bet­ween still­ness and moti­on, the lands­ca­pe unra­vels its memo­ries and nar­ra­ti­ves, from a long time ago — or may­be, now. 

And now the begin­ning is some­whe­re else’ is a per­for­ma­ti­ve instal­la­ti­on whe­re you are invi­ted insi­de of. Through spa­ce but also through sound, sto­ry­tel­ling and cho­re­o­grap­hic work, the per­for­man­ce cre­a­tes a world of inter­con­nec­ti­ons, knots and threads.
