Walking with grief - Dancing on the Edge Festival 18-24 september

Walking with grief - 18-24 September 

The opening programme in the DOTE Festival year of listening, Walking with Grief is a collective ‘performance’ that enables participation from different geographies. You can take part from anywhere in the world. 

Walking with Grief attends to brokenness and loss we carry with us, see around us, are a part of. It does not take place in a theatre, but when and where we walk, and can become part of your daily rhythm for a week. There are four walks (you can take at the moment of the day they suit your life) and two listening circles (at a fixed time online). 

Nine artists, artist duos and collectives share their reflections on grief in the form of nine pieces of audio in the four walks spread over the course of the week. The audios are available in English, Arabic, Dutch and Italian. 

A walk represents our relationship to the surroundings, the way we walk is an expression of how we feel. The posture of the body becomes a monument of what we have been through, how privilege manifests itself, how injustice penetrates us and operates our bodies and movement.” - Dina Mohamed
