*Presented as a Double Bill with Breathe – Milla Koistinen
One part strange spectacle on ice, one part slimy orgy. In Fluids, bodies are vulnerable, limited, and dissolve into each other. In Fluids WAUHAUS creates an impossibly slippery stage for the bodies of the performers. The performance is enabled by J-Lube, a lubricant that creates a movement language continuosly fluxuating between clumsiness and gracefulness. Fluids invites the audience to encounter empathy, intimacy, and failure.
Fluids is a first time collaboration between the Finnish arts collective WAUHAUS, and Estonian dance production house Sõltumatu Tantsu Lava (STL).
