In TERRA UMBRAE (Earth Shadows), a living landscape of bodies, live sound, and memory unfolds as ten performers and one musician navigate the imprints that places leave within us.

Using the body as a medium, our beautiful space Hallen is filled with shadows of the past that, through memory, closeness, and intimacy, explore the depths of our inner landscapes. TERRA UMBRAE is a sensory journey into our shared memory.

In TERRA UMBRAE (Earth Shadows), a living landscape of bodies, live sound, and memory unfolds as ten performers and a musician navigate the imprints that places leave within us. Using the body as a medium, the great hall of Kedelhuset fills with shadows from the past that, through memory, closeness, and intimacy, explore the depths of our inner landscapes. TERRA UMBRAE is a journey into our shared memory. 

TERRA UMBRAE is a choreographic landscape of shadows created by The Institute of Interconnected Realities (I-IR). The work draws on four years of work with Danish landscapes – from protected forests to urban wilderness – which here reemerge as shadows, echoes, and living memories in the bodies of ten dancers, in sound, and in scenography. 

The title means “earth shadows” and in Latin also carries nuances such as pigment, echo, and memory. The performance explores how the landscapes we form connections with continue to live within us as elastic imprints that shape how we sense, remember, and move through the world.
 
 

TERRA UMBRAE conveys the bond between body and land – both layered and filled with traces and memories – and opens up a sensory experience where shadows guide us through a terrain between presence and absence.
