Metaphor of Water
A multidisciplinary performance exploring repetition, gesture and transformation. Through simple actions and sound, the piece creates a sensory and contemplative experience centred on presence and perception.
Metaphor of Water unfolds as a poetic exploration of the everyday, where minimal gestures become sites of attention and transformation. The performance focuses on the present moment, privileging process over outcome and inviting audiences into a shared sensory space.
Water operates as both material and metaphor — fluid, opaque, transparent, visible and invisible. Moving between the organic and the symbolic, the work creates a dialogue between body, sound and matter. It proposes an intimate experience in which perception is heightened and time is suspended.
Blending performance, installation and sound composition, the piece adapts to different environments, establishing a close relationship between space, objects and presence.
