FLOATING LANDSCAPES by Pernille Garde Stage Art

Nothing remains the same. Everything is in motion — shifting, transforming over time.

FLOATING LANDSCAPES is a choreographic, site-specific performance that explores the elements that have formed—and continue to shape— the landscape and people of Skagen: weather and wind, drifting sand, migratory birds, waves of the sea, underground forces moving layers and materials, motifs captured by the artist colony —and echoes of history.

In a sensory, playful, and humorous universe, the audience is guided on a walk from the Grey Lighthouse (Det Grå Fyr) through the heath landscape, accompanied by three dancers and performers. The performers move in and out of characters, merging dance and text, creating images that unfold the landscape and open our gaze to another Skagen.

FLOATING LANDSCAPES is the journey and transformation of sand, water, wind, materials, waste, and people through the landscape— and the traces left behind over time.

Which traces will you choose to leave behind when you one day disappear?
