And the sky inside your lungs.

The choreographic installation before; the crater was shared at the end of a two-week residency during the autumn 2023 at BIRCA: Bækkelund International Residency Center for Artists, on the Danish island Bornholm.
The spectators-participants were first invited to experience an aural score outdoors. Later, they were invited to perceive and transform an installation inside BIRCA’s white box.
