Calling for water, calling for nettles, calling for gold, calling for dreams
Performance acquired by The Danish Arts Fund, performed at Tørring Gymnasium, DK, 24th of April, 2014.

In the performance Calling for water, calling for nettles, calling for gold, calling for dreams J&K present a series of vignettes that take the form of living tableaux, merging performance and installation, appropriating symbols and imagery from magic rituals and alchemic processes. Each scene is a ritual marking a rite of passage in life cycle: birth, life, death and afterlife. Basic human concerns such as family, labour, nourishment, economy and sleep are experimented in an appreciation of the natural passing and cycle of time.

The performance is featuring a text piece by Neal Brown
Guest performer: Mette Schwarz
Sound and voice recordings: Jon Bonnici + Nicholas Brooks

The performance was shown previously at Camden Arts Centre, London.
