CRASH
The ocean is never still. Waves crash continuously. While observing from the shore, we expect to see waves on the horizon. One never crashes the same as another. Never the same height, pressure, distance or rhythm. Waves transmit energy, not water. Once crashed, a specific whitewater formation appears, then disappears.

“Jonas winds up with a tone poem of majestic grace. He had help from singer and master instrumentalist Okaidja Afroso, who performed onstage, and from his exceptional dancers, who manage to tame gravity and transform themselves into the never-ending ebb and flow of water.”
