Created together with a former harpist and a dancer Ayse Orhon, harS is an inventive symbiosis between a human body and a harp, in which unexpected relations are relentlessly investigated. This investigation never settles on any definition, but constantly exposes new forms of symbiosis.
harS, creates phantasmic images of a mutant, not genetically but rather physically and kinetically engineered. (Aylin Kalem)
