ACTUS, FOR VJOSA
a ‘was bleibt kollektiv | Gentian Doda’ production
Amongst a flow of silences and sounds, bodies come alive as on a riverbank.
Life in ‘Actus, for Vjosa’ moves in amorphous ways and transforms into desolate landscapes where the river is no more. Here calmness meets tumultuousness, flow meets obstacles, human meets loss.
A dedication to the last wild river of Europe, a celebration for it to remain so.
