Synopsis
As night falls, they invade a public pool, immersing themselves in the watery mass where they transgress boundaries and metamorphose. In a fluid yet defiant contemporary dance, the water shapes them – supple, weightless, vulnerable, and fierce – while its poetic depths unite and divide them. Bodies of Water explores the transformation of human bodies as they interact with water – a fluid and adaptable medium that simultaneously presents resistance. It takes you underwater for an immersive experience that unfolds an uncommon and otherwise inaccessible contemporary dance.
