“When whales had legs” is a museum encounter between the Cyper-Physical installation LightScale II and a dance performance. In dialogue with the whale inspired colossal structure, II, a human body navigates the evolutionary path of the nautical mammal. From sea to land and back again, this millennia-long tales offers a reflection on the inherent relationship between environments and life. How to evolve in the Cyber-Physical realms?

An interdisciplinary performance that combines dance, art/science, text and new media to explore questions about the threat of nuclear weapons. The performance flows like a dialogue of perspectives between physical processes, individual emotions and geopolitical reality.

This show blends dance, techno, text, and projections into a sensible Molotov Cocktail of female resistance. Rooted in the feminist strikes that swept through the streets of Poland in 2020, a human body unfolds an individual tale. A lyrical reminder that just like yesterday, today woman’s place is in the resistance.
