In the choreographic sound installation, Clarinde explores how moving through the world is never a solitary act. Every step, every gesture holds the potential to link bodies, individual and collective, into something larger than themselves. Rather than positioning connection as a fixed state, the work understands it as something that is continuously present and shaped by attention, rhythm, and proximity.

This time, the garden of Dat Bolwerck acts as an active force, a presence that performs alongside the bodies within it. Performers Ming Jou Chen, Edward Loyd and Clarinde attune themselves to the subtle acoustics of the site: birdsong in the garden and the rhythm of passing cars. These sounds guide their movement and shape the unfolding of the work.

By following these irregular rhythms, the performers enter a field where human and non-human agencies intertwine. Thinking emerges as something lived and shared, in constant exchange with the world.
