Material: Latex, straps, carbine hooks, dance vinyl, water


In a dripping latex installation unfolds a textural and poetic performance that moves through companionships, politics of touch, tactility, and emotions. The erotic, the uncanny, the intimate and the unreal are interweaved, questioned, and embraced.

Caresses is a choreographic work by choreographer and artist, Emilie Gregersen, developed in close collaboration with dancer Paolo De Venecia Gile, sound artist Karis Zidore, and visual artist Elin Stampe, and dramaturge and choreographic consultant Naya Moll.
