Dance of the Fisherman

LOCATION X / LOCUS (DK + IRE + FIN)

Dance of the Fisherman is a site specific performance created specifically for Espergaerde Havn.

In Dance of the Fisherman, the audience will be physically drawn into the meditative world of the fisherman, in an imagistic walking tour.  

With our toes in the water and fingers busy at the net, we will listen to stories of local fishermen and women, surrounded by an evocative soundtrack under the sunset sky.  

The performance concludes with an invitation to a free fish meal smoked on the harbour and share a drink, supper and our stories together. 

Dance of the Fisherman is created in a collaboration between theatre director Caroline McSweeney and choreographer Taneli Törmä.
