"Loop" is a bodily experience of rhythm and sound.
The body is an activating force that resonates with vibrations and frequencies. In Loop, the body leads the way and creates rhythm, sound and music on its own terms. Movement becomes music and the body's musical echoe builds the soundscape that is processed "Live" on stage.
The bodies tremble, melt, grow, shutter, listen, rise, let go and we are invited on an auditory and kinesthetic journey.
The performance is built up from acoustic sound from the room and body and further through looping, filtering and manipulation via music technology. The distinction between audience and performers is slowly blurred and together they form a listening mass that responds to the music and through their physical experience is a co-creator into the experience/performance.
