Carl Knif Company Memory of Water

EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art will host a work-in-progress viewing of Carl Knif Company's latest work Memory of Water, with musicians Marianne Maans and Eija Kankaanranta, and dancer Carl Knif.

Memory of Water is a choreographic concert that weaves together the sensory and somatic experiences of music and movement into a multi-layered performance where water serves as the common thread.

The music, rooted in both modern folk music and contemporary art music, creates a living soundscape where the varied expressions of the three performers take shape and interact.

Water as an element evokes a myriad of associations, thoughts and feelings. The sea unites and separates. Water is the fundamental prerequisite for life – at once concrete and abstract. It can also function as an existential mirror. Through water, we are bound to nature; we are an inseparable part of an ecosystem, and water gives us an opportunity to understand and sense this connection.
