Fluid Fest 2025 - BODIES OF WONDER

LAUNCHED!

What is it to be wonder-full?

Wonder expands our field of sensing. Wonder is the pre-condition. Wonder is a vibrant, direct connection to the moment. It is a departure from ordinary experience.

It is through wonder that pain and anger come to life, it is wonder that allows us to feel what is wrong or not necessary, and it is wonder that can help make or unmake. Wonder energizes the hope of transformation, and the will for possibility and surprise.

The surprise of wonder is crucial to how it moves bodies.

The expansion of wonder is rooted deep inside the body.

Let's sit in awe of the moment. The effervescent surprise of the now. And how it claws open the state of our being - to self, with each other, and with this world.

MAYDAY DANSE

"Confession Publique" explores ambiguity and paradox, probes the noble and the vulgar, oscillates between grace and brutality. We immerse ourselves in a duel between intimacy and publicity. It's through this crack that we observe our shortcomings, nurse our scars, and contemplate our faults.
