VORTEX DELIGHT (2022)

Vortex Delight is a continuum, a practice of walking into something more than walking and a dance of transformation.

7 performers are walking, dancing, singing and lip-syncing their way through individual and shared pathways on a big common circular route. The route moves on and off what is considered stage and the performers therefor constantly appear and disappear by following that route. They intersect with each other and let themselves be changed through the encounters on their way. One moment they are like strangers on the street, another like fish in a shoal and then the next moment like cat-walkers, wanderers, dancers and party-people.

In a play with roles of the pedestrian, the dancer and the drifter the performance explores collective and individual trajectories, ways of co-existing and modes seeing and being seen in alandscape in constant rotation.

The performance is build up around a practice of walking: walking into something more than walking, walking into a dance as well as walking into each other, into the landscape, walking through gates of transformation and becoming each others transformative gates, walking as in catwalking and walking as in drifting through space. The walk as a place of sensuality, somatic experience and curiosity as well as a place of being seen, of seeing and performing.
