Katinka Kleijn and Lia Kohl’s shared practice explores vulnerability and resilience through the cello as an object, a body, and a sound-making tool. Water on the Bridge (2019) was created and performed at the Eckhart Park Natatorium as part of Chicago Park District’s ‘Night Out in the Parks’. A surreal and playful exploration of tenderness, violence and letting go through the unlikely pairing of cellos and water, it incorporates elements of theatre, movement, and improvisation.
