„You said Quick march, we did a quick waltz “

In a Lithuanian fairy tale to get what you most desire (invariably your 9 brothers), you have to go through the darkest woods to find magic; to call the winds, the birds and the clouds for answers and help but in real life, all we're left with is marching.
On day one, our research began with the question: why do we march?
Drawing from techno marching in Berlin raves, marching in student protests in Chile for a better education and being forced to march in parades demonstrating the power of the Soviet Union; by day four we ourselves felt condemned to march.
In this work we look for spontaneity, accidents and permission to fail within the structure of a march. We invite you to walk through a sketch of an installation in which the research process itself (including the mistakes) is there for you to experience.
Would you give your magic beans to stop climate change? Your right index finger? Your new born baby?
