Let's experience the present moment. Let's taste it. Let's smell it. Let's listen to it. Let's see it. Eau de Vie is not a performance. Eau de Vie is a shared event. Two dancers and one musician research the rules of an event which is ceaselessly changing. The title Eau de Vie (literal translation from French “water of life”) is a metaphor of a moment which cannot be stopped – just like water, it drains away. Sense-attacking production changes into a reaction to what is going on here and now but its form is anchored in a clear structure – a ritual. The only certainty are the inspirations by Frida Kahlo, Japanese geishas, samurais and haiku. Eau de Vie is a journey. A journey via the others towards ourselves
and vice versa.
