TIDE

TIDE is a duet resulting from the ongoing artistic exchange between Bára Sigfúsdóttir and Norwegian composer and trumpet player Eivind Lønning. Coming from different fields within the arts, Bára and Eivind combine their experiences to create a piece where music and dance merge into one experience. 

After years of seperately developing their own personal methods of incorporating improvisation within structured frameworks, Bára and Eivind share their research in TIDE. As two performers, two bodies, two masses which slowly gravitate towards one another on stage, they commence a delicate game of music and movement. Like the tide, the alternate rising and falling of the sea due to the attraction of the moon and the sun, sound and movement gently push and pull each other back and forth through time. Connected and constantly influenced by one another. The vibrating relationship between sound and silence, movement and stillness flows freely and leaves its trace. For the audience, TIDE is a performance not only to be perceived by the eyes and the ears, but through the skin and the whole being.
