The bath will be entered in street wear, no swimming gear required. Please bring your own flip-flops.

In the evenings, the abandoned two-story swimming hallof Jörgerbad with its galleries resembles a temple with a quiet, reflecting water surface at its base. The performance uses and enhances this atmosphere and the quiet presence of the water to create a feeling of endlessness.... Swimming Pool assesses the potentials of transformation – of space, water, performers, objects, sounds and transparency – shuttling between the poles of sensuality and abstraction. The performance plays with the removal of objects and the space from their every-day operative contexts, exposing the audience to the conflicting feelings of safety and uncanniness.
