The choreographic sound installation, explores how moving through the world is never a solitary act. Every step, every gesture holds the potential to draw bodies into relation with other bodies, sounds, materials, history and movements already present in a place.
Connection is understood as something continuously present and shaped by attention, rhythm, and proximity. The different phenomena of Dat Bolwerck’s garden act as active forces. Performers Ming Jou Chen, Edward Loyd, and Clarinde are choreographed by the acoustics of the site: voices, birdsong, alarms, and the rhythm of passing cars. Recorded sounds from the garden are reintroduced through speakers, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish what is happening in the present from what is returning from an earlier moment.
