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.
