Join a choreographed walk through the city. At 22 selected locations, the dancer stops and creates movements inspired by each place and by what is happening there at that moment. Even the smallest details become part of the performance.
You can follow the whole walk or just part of it. Walk at your own pace and keep whatever distance feels comfortable. Inspired by the Butoh tradition, the performance invites you to slow down and see the city in a new way. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes.
