📖 About the performance

Set to the iconic music of Claude Debussy (La Mer and Sirènes), Nanine Linning contrasts the early 20th-century romantic vision of the sea with modern realities: ocean pollution, rising sea levels, and ecosystems facing extinction.

Within this choreographic piece, mythical mermaids are poetically reimagined as a metaphor for human greed and its profound impact on the marine world.

🎭 Artistic direction and venue

The piece is conceived, directed, and choreographed by Nanine Linning, drawing upon Claude Debussy's evocative score to bring this choreographic vision to life at the Kursaal auditorium in San Sebastián.
