Summer Swish
Swish is a set of four nomadic creations that seek to bring urban environments to life. Each of the four adaptations takes on the qualities of a different season.
In Summer Swish (2018), the performers are guided by the music at twilight. Decorated with delicate lights reminiscent of fireflies, they illuminate their environment, allowing the public to see it through a new lens. The dancers' gentle movement connects them, creating an intimate space in the concrete surroundings of the city. Tracing a path with sculptural bodies, the performers invite the audience into an endless summer night. The four dancers are gradually united, drawing inspiration from the natural elements to generate different qualities of movement that create an ever-changing constellation. Summer Swish plays perception and corporeal states, suggesting the possibility of life in urban environments.
