Sál (soul)is the third and final chapter of the Full Cycle Journey of live media performances created by fuse*. Completing the narrations of Ljós (light), telling the "coming into the world", and Dökk(darkness), revolving around the concept of interdependence, Sál shifts focus to the horizon, the boundary of life, embracing the idea of impermanence that defines all that exists.

Impermanence is not solely tied to loss but also to change and becoming. Indeed, if there is a continuous dissolution, there is also a continuous becoming. This can be both terrifying and inspiring.

Nature shows us how everything that exists, from the micro to the macro, is in constant flux.

Observing a cell under a microscope reveals how even the smallest particles are in a continuous flow, living and dying moment by moment.

The same dynamic is observed in our universe; impermanence applies to galaxies, stars, and black holes. At every moment, something fades away, and something explodes. Just like us, stars and galaxies are born, live for a certain time, and then die. Impermanence is a truth woven into the very fabric of existence. The performance seeks to explore this wide range of emotional dimensions: melancholy,sadness, fear, anger, terror, and the chaos that characterize all those moments of change, in which one oscillates between past and future, between death and becoming. But also the idea that when we manage to embrace and connect with the precarious nature of existence, we can truly appreciate its significance. And in that moment, we give value to every single instant.
