“LOVE” - you spread your feathers that perch in the soul and sing the tune that is contagious to all. “HOPE” - your wings are invisible but your presence is felt in the air by all. “PEACE” - the beautiful light you share makes life much brighter for all.

There are spirits in human nature and mysterious energy in our world. How does it feel when we as humans go into the abstract and unknown forms of the universe we are living. How do we perceive elements that it is impossible to recognize from the visual vocabulary we have around us?

This performance is inviting everyone to use all of their senses, and their imagination to get closer to the unknown elements of the universe. Humans, ancestors, the universe, spirit medium, predator, and birth are symbolized through materiality, tactility, moves, and sounds from the costumes and dancers, creating a non-human sensorial experience.

— Tendai Malvine Makurumbandi

The live performance has toured several stages of Norway and the dance film is on the way.
