Collective Explorations

As a tribe of like minded artists and explorers we come together to create spaces of experience and inner reflection.

We take visitors onto journeys to new places in the world and within ourselves. We achieve this through a diverse set of tools:

Combining experiemental, site-specific, audiovisual multi-screen installations with
abstract performances merging modern circus, japanese Butoh dance and ritualistic trances including
live improvised music by musicians of our collective and on-site creations with local artists within
a mindfully decorated space, preferrably in nature, that we transform including hammocks, benches, candles, incents, lights, branches, painting, built structures etc.

An exploration of human movements through layering
