Niet alleen prikkeling van de zintuigen, maar ook ruimte om in contact te komen met je eigen herinnering of vermoeden van simpele schoonheid. Muziek benaderd als een Haiku, gevoel uitgedrukt als klank. Dit is wat deze twee muzikanten uit hun twee accordeons proberen te halen in een programma met gedichten, citaten, anekdotes en vooral muziek rond het thema water van hun nieuwste CD Aquarelles.

Via Vivencia avspeiler intensiteten i hvert øyeblikk vi lever, og favner drømmer og lengsler, skjønnhet, lidenskap, kraft og glede. Kan vi nå frem - berøre - lytteren med spirer av disse kvalitene ved å være menneske fyllbyrdiger dette gleden vår ved å skape.

Not just stimulation of the senses, but also giving way getting in touch with your own memory of simple beauty. Music is approached as a Haiku, feeling expressed as a sound. This is what these two musicians try to get out of their two accordions. A program of little poems, quotes, anecdotes and above all a lot of music around the theme of water from their latest CD Aquarelles.

Life is passing by, it never stops. It's like a train that can't be stopped. And suddenly you're 80 years old and looking back you find that life slipped away. I'm 34 years old now and I want to stand still. Two minutes of reflection before I do something, anything. It’s my birthday. Two minutes before cutting the cake.

58 year old finally seeking the lime light. Luscious piano playing forms the base for dreamy and jazzy autobiographic songs. Themes vary from life, love to social engagement

‘About how I was the rain, almost spoke to the pope, met a fox and made a grass hug.’ At the age of 22, Elena decides to walk from Antwerp to Rome, a hike of 2200 kilometers, which she completes in a 102 days. It was a search for necessity. In ELENA, she attempts to translate the multiplicity of the experience, the vastness of it all, in a single hour. Walking, what it does to a human being and whether the arising thinking process can be triggered in other ways. At the same time, her performance carefully puts a finger on the impossibility of preserving the inexplicable immenseness that she brought home from the walk.

Sara (1989) er utdannet danser fra Bårdar Akadamiet. I sommer har hun arbeidet med en solo, for første gang som profesjonell danser. Hun ønsker å formidle sin historie, sine opplevelser og følelser gjennom dansen. Hun opplever nemlig at det er vanskelig å finne de rette ordene for å uttrykke seg. Det faller seg heller naturlig å kommunisere gjennom bevegelser; dansen er hennes naturlige språk. Det er særlig gjennom improvisasjon hun snakker dette språket, da hun mister kontrollen og heller følger instinkter og impulser. I soloen danser Sara både på bakkeplan og i tissue. Tissuen fungerer som en dansepartner, og åpner opp for muligheten til å bevege seg i luftrommet. Arbeidstittelen på soloen er «S», som står for Sara's Solo Sommeren Seksten. Støttet av: R.E.D. (Residency Eina Danz)
