#STOFF2024: STIM
Date:
Time: 12—1pm; 3—4pm
Location: City Museum’s courtyard, Slussen
A history of a resurrected river, and a city undergoing urban development.
Much like a delicate, faint blue vein tracing the skin's surface, the river meanders through the city, at times visible and at others concealed. Come closer and take a look! STIM embarks on a captivating journey across both distance and time, following the course of a river. A group of performers are guiding your attention in public space. Can performance and collective observation reshape our preconceived notions about space?
Throughout the performance, you will experience an interplay between the body, memory, imagination, a history of a resurrected river, and a city undergoing urban development and gentrification. By performing around the appearance and disappearance of the river, the body of the performers connects with the body of the city, exploring memory as a living landscape.
