THE WORK
We Are the Weather is a new creation by choreographer Bára Sigfúsdóttir for Iceland Dance Company.
The performance explores the invisible forces that bind us, between bodies, between minds, and between inner and outer consciousness. Building on Bára's ongoing exploration of the relationship between humans and nature, the work asks what it means to recognize ourselves as part of nature itself, constantly shaped by and shaping those around us.
On stage, a group of dancers and a full-scale choir move through shifting states of closeness, distance, and collective rhythm, weathering the space together. Voices and bodies intertwine, continually reshaping one another. Like weather moving across a landscape, each encounter leaves a trace. Together they become each other's shelter, nourishment, and terrain. The space transforms and erodes over the course of the performance, reflecting the fragile and dynamic nature of connection.
We Are the Weather invites reflection on how we affect one another, and how, together, we become the climate we inhabit.
