PORØS
WORK IN PROGRESS: Porous is a part of the European Hand to hand circus and residency project, and was developed in an immersion residency in Helsingør with local partners U/NORD and Hal 16 Maritime Workshop Association, in collaboration with Helsingør Teater, Denmark.
At sunrise, an intimate group will embark on a silent journey that will connect them to the sea, to boats, and perhaps to something more.
We will meet at the port where the ferries dock, and together set out on a voyage across the city, experiencing along the way poetic interludes inspired by the relationship between our bodies and the environment that surrounds us.
Through the prism of departure and transition, we will look at things anew, and consider the physical, and perhaps even the mystical, connections between boats, the sea, and us.
The duration of the journey may vary, depending on the group’s experiences along the way.

HAND TO HAND (2023-2025)
Hand to Hand is a European contemporary circus exploration in public space to collectively question the notion of social ecology.
The project is led by Le Palc, national circus centre in France, in partnership with Bússola in Portugal, Helsingør Teater in Denmark and Room 100 in Croatia.
For two and a half years, the project aims to explore the issue of sustainability through learning and experiential spaces of research for circus artists, especially emerging artists in their artistic practice in public space, to develop new capacities of initiating a transition, transforming artistic and methodological practices in public space for sustainability.
Mentors, researchers, private firms, cultural and creative industries actors, are involved in the whole process.
8 selected artists have followed a journey of four exploration times in the four countries and collaborated through immersion residencies with private firms such as Joseph Perrier, champagne house; Fila Arches, paper mill of art paper in France ; Ston Salt marshes in Croatia ; a maritime workshop for the renovation of wooden boats, Educations for boatbuilding and sailmaking and a professional fisherman in Denmark ; Codfish Harbor and the codfish packaging of Ílhavo, distant water fishing in Portugal.
During the four partners festivals, the artists will share their artistic prototypes with festival with audiences, as a work in progress collecting their experience from one activity sector in one country.
HAND TO HAND is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.

Interview
””It was enormously inspiring for me to be connected to a world of theater that goes beyond Denmark’s borders. We can learn something from the dedication of the international artists. Mathilde lay and practiced and practiced every little move on Bent’s boat again and again. It’s reminiscent of his own craftsmanship, so he suddenly gained respect for her”. This is how Mette Brask, who is the day-to-day manager at Maritimt Værksted Hall 16 , tells us , where part of the walking show PORØS takes place.“
