DANCE OF THE FISHERMAN is a site-specific performance created for harbours across Europe.
The artists hunt unheard stories and local traditions from the leisure to the working fisherman/woman and their families. This touring performance is created in collaboration with the local communities. The communities' history, culture, and local fishing habits will therefore affect the outcome of the performance
In an imagistic walking tour, the audience are physically drawn into the world of the fisherman.
With toes in the water and fingers busy untangling the net, the audience will listen to local stories, surrounded by an evocative soundtrack and all together under the sunset sky.
The project will be created in Denmark, Iceland, Ireland, and Faeroe Islands in 2021-2022.
Premiere 26th-30th July 2022 Passage Festival Espergaerde Harbour, DK
