Sand Flight / Sandflugt (2025)
« Back to Work
About:
A new outdoor site-specific performance on a 6m constructed sand dune, with
eight dancers and a choir of up to 50 singers
Sand Flight explores the fragility of our environments and the shifting relationship between urban landscapes and nature. The dancers’ movements across the constructed sand dune may evoke associations with past civilizations and early history, as well as speculate on a possible future in which cities have disintegrated into grains of sand. The dune contains tiny remnants of countless former lives and puts our cities and our lives into perspective.
