Curatorial context
The performance 'VILT' is designed for children aged two and above, along with their parents or guardians. It begins with a simple action: shearing a (fake) sheep, with the resulting wool becoming the focus of the performance. Through spinning, dyeing, and knitting, dancers create images, mountains, and tunnels from wool, moving to live music, interacting with each other and the children. The audience is invited to watch, participate, or simply be present as the floor slowly transforms. The movement itself shapes the material, culminating in a shared moment under a large felt blanket. 'VILT' emphasizes the body, rhythm, and imagination, appealing to those who are curious, prefer quiet observation, or enjoy energetic play.
