Fields of Tender
Step into an enchanting and playful dance performance, which immerses you in an imaginary world of tenderness, affection and love.
Within this awe-inspiring, sensual world, extravagant and peculiar events interlace with ethereal and gentle ones.
Dance, music, sounds, extraordinary objects and interactive video projections welcome you into this calm and intimate space for relaxation.
Fields of Tender caters to all senses and embraces every individual. You’re invited to enjoy the performance freely and on your own terms, to exit and re-enter during the show, and to leave when it suits you.
