RIVER is an experiment between dance and radio technology. In a performative
radio play, RIVER deals with aspects of power and communication and explores flows and obstacles. Inspired by the author Minna Salami, the piece is based on a definition of power derived from the phenomenon of the river. The course of the river connects with the waves of the radio. The radio becomes a feminist tool to rewrite power relations within relationships.

In RIVER, dance, voices and sounds come together to tell a story about feminist power inspired by the sound and flow of a river. Site-specific elements of the Berlin Panke river are combined with reinterpreted fragments of the Odyssey to create a common narrative.
