in gaps & patches

A group of dancers and performers set out into the city. Like sculptures on tour, they activate the Loredana Marchi bridge over the canal next to Port de Flandre. They move along different paths, through different landscapes, in one fluid and sustained performance that has no beginning or end. They adapt to different situations, settings and contexts along the way, constantly interacting with their surroundings. Using paper and textiles and their own bodies, they measure and produce frames that highlight the features or scale of the landscape, creating alternative interpretations of the link between the (human) body and time, between space and the environment.

With their company fieldworks, Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki Avdal have made numerous productions that toured internationally. Their work focuses on “performativity” and on the open interpretation of movement through different media.
