This performance is inspired by children at play and being present in the moment, as opposed to us adults, who are often bound by conformity, routine and rules.
Lady on the Beach is a visual, sensory and auditory performance, where we meet an actor, a dancer and a musician in close interaction. Through movement, dance, theatre and music, the choreographer has been inspired by improvised play and creativity of children. This is important for us all, but can be more problematic for many of us adults, who are often more removed from playing. What starts as an ordinary day at the beach, transforms into a peculiar and poetic landscape characterised by unpredictable events when improvisation and imagination take centre stage.
