flock of fleeting hands – world premiere Cikada
September 18th, 2026, Ultima Festival
The movement of our hands are highly expressive – in a single gesture they can portray exact emotional and physical states. They can show stability, playfulness or enthusiasm, but with the slightest shift in energy shift to nervousness, agression, fear or power. An ensemble of eighteen fleeting hands can, at times, appear as isolated islands searching for connection.
At other time the collective embraces the strength that emerges when these volatile elements manage to join and form one single organsim. Just like an organism the ensemble combines its different units in a completely unbiased cooperation, with the sole aim to maintain its viability.
The exuberence of the organism spreads as a gradually emerging glade. Through a warmer light, points of accumulating density and gravity trigger flows of textures and actions that appear both in high.speed original time, as well as examined in slow motion, where the granularity of textures can flourish and evolve.
The ensemble can also be viwed through the lens of of a small society: a community that maintains sustainability, and that supports those who are challenged and vulnerable. It is an organism that strives for compassion and solidarity, exploring how the collective can transform fragility into united persistence.
