Mees Vervuurt creates poetic worlds in which the audience gradually disappears. In these worlds, sound, music, picturesque imagery, and movement work almost like sacred experiences. Music and movement flow into one another, revealing how inseparably they are connected.
The space breathes, and the voice and body become part of the architecture. We move with the breath of the space, and the boundaries of our skin seem to slowly dissolve into the resonating tones. At first, we try to grasp the intangible, but then we surrender to the unknown. We let go and drift along in this universe of sound.
These performances are always site-specific, with Mees exploring the combination of (live) music, movement, and space. The location is always one of the starting points for the performances he creates. It immediately raises the question of why we are there and reflects on our existence. Every reverberation, echo, corner, and history is unique. We must relate to the rules and laws of the space; we cannot ignore them.
