ATTENTION: RIVER RESIDENTS!
by Urvi Vora and Alexandra Mihaela Dancs
You would not call a mermaid “fish out of water”, you would ask “mermaid, why are you out of water?”
Attention: River Residents is a duet created by Alexandra Mihaela Dancs and Urvi Vora in dialogue with the contours of the city with Tranzit House as a landscape. They move alongside the hour when the sun goes down, responding to the changing colours of the river to create moments that give rise to questions of loss, death and eventual transformation.

Alexandra Mihaela Dancs, independent dancer and choreographer based in Bucharest, collaborates among others with Madalina Dan, Florin Fieroiu, Doris Uhlich, Cosmin Manolescu, Zan Yamashita, Rui Catalao, Jean Lorin Sterian, Vava Stefanescu.
