Dance Festival Malta – Waterkind
By Land Before Time (Sweden)
Disclaimer:
This is mostly a standing event. Seating will be very limited while there will also be some cushions available. This venue is not wheelchair accessible.
Waterkind explores the interplay and connection between two bodies without direct physical contact and is inspired by the movements of water, its flows, currents, and shifting forms. The work merges freestyle and popping elements into a meditation on receptivity, proximity, and space. The piece asks how we can experience connection and mutual understanding through improvisation and how vibrations, responsiveness, and subtle energy can bridge distance. Each movement emerges from the previous one, mirroring the cyclical and interdependent nature of water itself. The piece invites audiences into an embodied reflection on flow, empathy, and coexistence, drawing parallels between human connection and the rhythms of nature. Through its focus on water as both metaphor and movement language, Waterkind resonates with contemporary dialogues on ecology, sustainability, and interconnection within communities and the environment.
