FELT RELATIONS
FELT RELATIONS explores the complex web of relationships between humans and nature. Shaped by research in the mountains and by the processing of wool, the piece invites the audience to perceive infinity, rawness and tenderness. Felting, an ancient, repetitive gesture shared across cultures, is explored choreographically as a primal metaphor and made tangible to the eye, the body and the senses. The compression of wool becomes a condensation of history, landscape, knowledge, labour, and human and animal life: an atmosphere of interweaving emerges. On stage, a field of resonance unfolds between body and wool, two relational fabrics, soft yet resilient, breathing as they navigate the space within and around them.
