"The diving board" is the third collaboration between the Norwegian actor and dancer Martin Slaatto and Michel Pavlou. They revisit the Hvalstrand pool and it's legendary diving tower, in the Oslo fjord, a location strongly connected with Martin's childhood, with the aim to gain access to the memory of the space and explore through the physical experience the mutual relationships between past and present, between the actual and it's recollection.
