SENSUOUS CITY – THE PERFORMANCE
Sisters Hope invites you on a deep, sensuous journey exploring the poetic layers of the city. For 24 hours, you will explore the city in groups of 10. Maybe you will follow the flow of the water through the city. Maybe you will experience the city through traveling sounds or the darkness of the basements.
As a participant, you will partake in a poetic walk and performance which will help us unfold the sensuous and poetic aspects of the city. In contrast to the idea of the large, noisy, alienating metropolis, Sisters Hope brings us in contact with the things close to us, the tactile and the aesthetic dimension of the capital.
The walks are guided and facilitated by Sisters Hope’s performers such as: Ekko, The Invitation, The Shapeshifter etc. Before your departure you will receive a letter with guidelines on what to prepare and bring on the walk. Along the way, there will be meals and a place to sleep.
During the 24 hours, you explore the city’s sensuous and poetic elements. What stories, atmospheres, movements, emotions lurk in the city? You perform an active research, and you bring your discoveries back to The City Hall, where they are exhibited in display units for all the visitors of the City Hall to see.
Your discoveries lay the foundation for new dreams and visions of the city of the future – a city with room for poetry, beauty and the sensuous aspects of existence.
SENSUOUS CITY – THE ARCHIVE
At The City Hall, we open up this study of the city of the future, where everyone can contribute. In display units, we gather research from Sisters Hope’s poetic, participatory walks – material that unfolds the sensuous and poetic aspects of the city, or the lack of it. And on a large floor map of the city, you can leave your footprint and help outline new visions about how the city affects you in different places – and your dreams for the future.
Over three weeks, an emotional map is being built that draws a new picture of Copenhagen. Not a picture of buildings and infrastructure, but a picture of humans interacting in and with the city from the poetic and sensuous aspects of their being. An image of a fleeting city, where the everyday gives space for poetry, visions and dreams.
Let yourself be inspired by the narration of the exhibition and get inspiration for your own exploration of the city. What hidden, forgotten or idle potentials can you find for the city of the future?
