Here whilst we walk

The group is a bit like an amoeba, constantly changing shape depending on the cityscape. Along narrow pavements, the group appears as a small line, in squares and parks, the shape becomes long and wide. Thus, architecture becomes interactive: the participant expresses his/her presence in the here and now. And the city is expressed through the participant's body.

The Amsterdam you experience in Here whilst we walk is not defined by urban structures, but by the people themselves. The elastic band separates the group from its surroundings. Everyone inside it now belongs together. But involuntarily, the participant also becomes a canvas for the fantasies of passers-by: what is happening there, what are these people doing?

Ciríaco and Sonnberger's work challenges boundaries and encourages audiences to think about the connections they experience: in themselves and with the world.

Here whilst we walk is a unique walking performance where the audience walks along within an elastic band. We ask participants to take the following into account:

• The walk lasts one hour. It is therefore important for participants to check whether it is physically possible to walk for an hour.
• The starting location is Podium Mozaïek (Bos en Lommerweg 191, 1055 DT Amsterdam).
• Because every person who signs up really does participate, we ask you to cancel via bespreekbureau@ita.nl if you cannot come. If there are too few participants, the walk cannot take place.
• The minimum age for participation is 6 years.
• The walk does not end at the starting point. Therefore, it is good to take into account a duration of 1.5 hours if you have to pick up your bike/bag at the starting location.
