An installative dance video performance Water on the skin can be an intense body experience. When body and water meet, there is an immediate reaction, depending on the state of the water: warm, cold, icy, liquid, solid, rustling, flowing.

Hin und wieder durchbricht sie die Wand aus Dickicht, löst Lichtimpulse und Klangelemente aus und setzt Sträucher und Bäume als natürliches Bühnenbild in Szene.
