HAVÅND
[OCEAN SPIRITS]
2025

We follow two colourful spirits, that has risen from the ocean, insisting by their presence on our attention. The spirits carry the memory of the deep and are trying to make us remember and feel the spirit of the ocean. Through dance and costumes the magical world of the ocean is brought to life, creating presence, community and optimism.
