terveisin, Kyy (in English warmly, Viper) is a dance short film about becoming a viper snake, following a transformational journey of moulting old skin and adopting the ophidian perspective. The film is a movement study on the more-than-human in our human bodies. The piece was composed through asking what vipers might tell us, if only we could understand their language.
