KATRINE FABER – Songs from our Bodies – in dialogue with water and vastness
A performance walk that makes the surroundings sing
Songs from Our Bodies is a nomadic performance walk in constant development and transformation, attuning its sound and resonance to the places the artist collaborates with. In 2026, Katrine Faber has created a new, singing version – this time in dialogue with the old pumping station on Refshaleøen. Journey from primeval times across open expanses and descend into a world of water, rust, and wondrous sounds and stories.
The world – and we ourselves – are made of sound, if we listen closely. Voices dwell both in our bodies and in the landscapes we move through. In the company of singer, composer, and performance artist Katrine Faber, we set out on a sensorial, singing walk that opens our ears to the hidden life and living bodies of place.
Katrine Faber gives voice to the landscapes, allowing us to hear their songs, emotions, and atmospheres. She invites us to join in – to let our own bodies resonate with the site.
We, as humans, resonate with our living surroundings. We are connected, and we can learn from both places and each other. Which voices do we need to listen to in order to create better conditions for ourselves and all living beings around us? Which places and lives are in need of being heard?
Songs from Our Bodies is at once art, life philosophy, and community. The work explores love for the places we inhabit, grief for what we are losing, and hope for deeper attunement and connection with all forms of life we share the world with.
