About Vertical Blue
In a world where the overactive, modern human urge to constrain imposes the illusion of control, life can sometimes take dangerous turns. Grief, happiness, the aftermath of a broken heart, a missed opportunity, a new born child. Life is overwhelming. The tendency to control both the world around us and our inner world, in an attempt to cope with overwhelming feelings and experiences, makes us unruly. The big clash seemsinevitable.
In Vertical Blue, the wave shifts, we are engulfed, and we allow ourselves to be carried away by the undercurrent. We fall deep into the ocean, our breath held, but our bodies soft. Sounds vibrate palpably, performers sweat their way into the depths, the environment transforms into an elusive perspective. The world speaks, the senses listen.
In a world where what has always sustained us no longer serves us or our surroundings, but rather damages them, Vertical Blue offers a radically proposal: What if our response to crisis is not to fight, to arm, to overpower, but to listen, to surrender, to create reciprocity, and to realign?
Vertical Blue invites you to surrender. We will dive deep and let go of everything. Not out of indifference, but to open our hands, eyes, and minds to that which cannot be held or controlled. We are heading for a hard reset.
