Sea of Hands is a restorative ritual that takes place after the performance Lullabye. A small group of people who are responsible for the care of a child, a parent, a partner, or someone in need are welcomed into the scenography.
Participants are guided towards rest and invited to redirect their energy towards themselves. Through simple, collective actions, Sea of Hands creates a moment in which those who usually carry others are themselves carried. Recognition and support become tangible.
