Dancing bodies between intimacy and failure

A strange spectacle on ice and a slippery stage combine in the two-part performance "Fluids," the first collaboration between Finnish art collective WAUHAUS and Estonian dance production company Sõltumatu Tantsu Lava.

The performers’ bodies navigate a highly slippery stage. They are vulnerable, constrained in their movements, and meld into one another as they dance. Using J-Lube, a highly effective lubricant, they are compelled into an unstable movement language that constantly teeters between awkwardness and grace.

How can we be moved by another person? How can we let ourselves be surprised by emotions instead of always trying to control the course of our lives? "Fluids" invites the audience to experience empathy, intimacy, and failure.

Thrilling encounter
