Harbor Me

Choreographer: Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui

The harbor is a place of shelter: offering protection from the elements, from persecution, but it is also a line in the sand: a border that can keep you out and turn you away. If we imagine each dancer embodying a different element – fire, water, air – one influences, transforms or destroys the next as they move. Is there a way for one element to shelter another? Can one person truly protect another, or only change or destroy them?
