Vertical Blue

Vertical Blue is an immersive performance, a boundless blue world in which you go on a freedive alongside dancers, light, music and a slowly changing environment.
Waves
In a world where our overactive urge to control imposes the illusion of control upon us, life can sometimes take a dangerous turn. Waves come and go. Grief, happiness, the aftermath of a broken heart, a missed opportunity, the birth of a child. Life overwhelms us. The tendency to shut ourselves off so as not to have to deal with overwhelming feelings and thoughts makes us hard and unyielding. The big clash – with ourselves and with others – seems inevitable.
In Vertical Blue, the wave breaks, we are swept away, and we let ourselves be carried by the undercurrent. We plunge deep into the ocean, holding our breath, yet our bodies remain soft. Sounds vibrate palpably; performers sweat their way into the depths; the surroundings transform into an elusive perspective. The world speaks; the senses listen. Vertical Blue invites us to surrender. In interplay with the surroundings, the dancers, the light, and the music, our perception undergoes a complete reset. Together, we then form an alternative response to an overwhelming world.
