Aquatopia on Tour
Aquatopia
“Aquatopia on Tour” is an interactive art project that opens up creative spaces for encounters with mystical water creatures in public spaces. Fascinating water creatures came into contact with people in Berlin, Frankfurt/Main and Neustrelitz, on the occasion of World Water Day 2025, to raise awareness on the topic of water and emphasize the importance of the element as a source of life. With water sounds and performative play, they showed the many facets of water - from gentle drops to stormy oceans. The message: water is not only a vital element, but also a symbol of change, power and harmony. Together, we are setting an example for the conscious and sustainable usage of water and for the protection of our precious elixir of life. Water is a being from which we can learn, including how to live in connection with the planet we live on. Water is animate. Self-made reflection cards produces from recycled material were distributed in order to sensitize people for their own physical and inner connection with water. “Aquatopia on Tour” is a performative exploration of water as a symbol of life, and of change and awareness around water (issues). With interactive artistic performances in public spaces, such as walking acts, we want to appeal to people emotionally and raise awareness of the importance of water as a vital resource. Through movement, gesture and sound we create room for connection that embodies the power of water in both a literal and figurative sense. Aquatopia is an interdisciplinary artist collective that promotes awareness around water issues. Members stem from non-profit associations and partner organizations carewasser and M.E.E.R. . The group is made up of marine biologist Fabian Ritter, social worker Felicitas Seyffert, bodypaint artist Katharina Mendler, visual artist Daniel Falk and water ambassador Anoosh Werner.
