... and Swim

about the project...

 

Based on the well-known Greek proverb (shut up and swim), said to signify the hard effort one needs to make to reach one's goal and not to give up trying.

Loosely translated, 'don't talk and forge ahead …’.

 

This is how the four performers of A KIN face gravity, time and physical obstacles. Without giving up the effort they use the body as a tool to move forward and evolve. Along the way, flippers become their ally and enemy.
