YOU

The piece navigates the tension between intimacy and community, between personal memory and existential reflection, and poses fundamental questions: Who are we? Why are we here? And what sustains us through turbulent times?

The production invites the audience to understand dance not only as an art form, but also as a place of encounter and shared experience. Following selected performances, discussions with the artists will take place.
