„Ports in Motion“ is a short dance-movie about living and working. It’s about working in the harbor. It challenges laws of gravity. It’s material and sprirtual. It’s sweat, it’s dynamic.
The four classical Greek elements earth, water, air, and fire are the main visual themes. They are expressed in the movements of the two dancers in relation to ‘realistic’ activities in continuous movement. The dancers walk on water, mock gravity, control the world around them and climb endlessly in a mountain of black coles and dust. The background of a diversity of locations, people, elements makes the viewer aware of the overwhelming challenge: synergy and bio-energy.
