NUDIBRANCHS (DK)

 

Poetic respite and artistic moments at SWOP Festival

Look! What is that? Mysterious sea creatures crawl and slime their way from the depths of the sea. Nudibranchs. Colorful, forest snail-like blobs of jelly, also known as the butterflies of the sea. There are more than 3,000 species in various shapes and colors. Some of them have now washed ashore. They crawl closer, both mysterious and alluring. Come along, follow the slime trail from the depths of the sea into an encounter with these strange creatures. Perhaps they are not so different from you after all?

The nudibranchs invite passers-by into their world with small poetic pauses in the middle of the cityscape. If you surrender to the encounter and connect with the nudibranchs, you will have a sensory experience and perhaps receive a gift from the depths of the sea. These mysterious sea creatures are symbols of color and imagination, bringing gentleness and curiousity to their surroundings.
