Wondering Horizons is an artistic pilgrimage across Germany and Spain, where walking through cultural landscapes unfolds into contemporary dance, music, and physical theater.
For 15 days, the journey traces paths between Tübingen and Freiburg (in Germany) and between Villanueva de Santo Adriano and Santiago de Compostela (in Spain), gathering stories, sounds, landscapes, and encounters.
At the end of each journey, Laura Arís and Jakob Jautz join the musicians in the cultural center, and through 6 days of shared creation, the path—with its human and non-human voices—becomes the performance itself.
