The Braid

By: Hilla Steinert and Elize Vossgatter

Two performers plait grass that they have collected. Kneeling, facing each other, they start with a central knot - slowly moving apart as the braid grows. As tension and relief become perceptible, the performers are constantly challenged to react. No matter how far they move apart, they are connected through their labour, holding a visible sign of nature and human effect.

Audience members are invited to contribute materials to plait into the braid.
