DURATIONAL DANCE PIECE, 4 HOURS, PREMIERED AT GERÐARSAFN KÓPAVOGUR ART MUSEUM, KÓPAVOGUR (ICELAND), JANUARY 2024

MOLTA – the icelandic word for compost – is an immersive, interdisciplinary installation and a live performance. Directed by the artist Rósa Ómarsdóttir, the piece creates ecosystems, which – both visually and sonically – melts, leaks, decomposes, grows, morphs and evaporates.
