On the waters’ edge

2026 · Brussels City Ballet

While making this work, I became fascinated by what happens to a gesture once it leaves the body that made it.

A gesture enters another body. It acquires different desires, different rhythms, different histories. It returns altered, carrying traces of a journey that can no longer be retraced.

Again and again, movements appeared familiar and foreign at once, like the glimpse of a face in a reflection, or a wave returning to a shore it has never truly left.

On the waters' edge inhabits this threshold, where listening, memory, and presence continuously reshape one another, and where nothing remains entirely its own.

It is an invitation to linger at the edge, where transformation is continuous and belonging remains unfinished.
