Waterkind delves into the interplay and connection between two bodies without direct physical contact. How can we experience the sensation of connection and mutual understanding of the next movement through improvisation? Both proximity and space are equally crucial, with a continuous emphasis on vibrations and responsiveness. Individual explosions and outbursts occur while both performers maintain a close relationship to one another. The subsequent movement heavily relies on the preceding one. Water serves as the inspiration to shape the flows and currents, combined with freestyle and elements of popping, resulting in specific material encapsulated in the work.

Waterkind is selected by Aerowaves as part of their Twenty25 artists 2025 for the festival in Gorizia and Nova Gorica (IT/SI).

[…it is contained in] is a tribute to water, our greatest life source. The duo is exploring the different qualities that water has and how it reminds us to stay connected to our natural surrounding and relearn some of our fundamental needs to become more human: Feel, adapt, remember, connect, communicate, be. The performance is an honest journey together through nothing and something, little and much, silence and harmonies, stillness and movement.

Premiere: Januari 2022, Palladium Malmö, Sweden

If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water. Loren Eiseley
