MOULD WITH ME

MOULD WITH ME is a dance performance and interactive installation that moves through cycles of resilience, transformation, and decay. Drawing inspiration from the living intelligence of fungi and its life principles, the work explores what it means to unlearn human control and surrender to processes of change. Through choreography, sound, and visual environments, the piece invites audiences into an ecosystem where bodies, matter, and time continuously decompose and reform – a reminder that life thrives in the act of becoming.

The performance was created in collaboration with Norwegian biologists & mycologists Renée Jung and Sondre Eng.

Duration: 1 hour + 1 hour open installation
