The music is an independent force in its own right: assertive and autonomous. A sonic landscape of rhythmic tension and seismic vibrations that challenges, supports and counteracts the choreography. L.A.V.A. reveals how intensity emerges from difference. Not through harmony, but through friction. Not through distance, but through proximity. The audience finds itself right in the midst of this physical and sonic eruption.

Welcome to the world of L.A.V.A..

Follow L.A.V.A. through the digital publication L.A.V.A. – The Friction Field.

In this online space, you can lose yourself and discover that you are always somewhere. You may find yourself overwhelmed by fire and ash, experience the sensation of collision or erosion, or encounter material that inspired or informed the performance.

Share the dancers’ journey during rehearsals, listen to behind-the-scenes conversations and interviews with the creators, or watch the body transform into lava through the latest motion capture technology.

When the ash from the performance has settled, Lavalive remains online as a living archive.
