Kaisa Nieminen & Marika Peura (FI)

Another body wave gyrating through me.
I want you to notice it, I made it for you!
My sweat, my lava - a grandiloquent sequence.
Ooops, oh my!
Can you come closer?

The work dives into the intimacy of dancing, choreographically deriving from the context of club & rave culture, dances and relationalities. Grinding as its movement landscape, five dancers engage in a search of pleasures of the dancing body; sensual and sexual energies, frantic expressions, the thrill of the social play grounded in intimate exploration.
