Lebenslicht<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Choreography by Matthew Tusa<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Death. We will all encounter it. Of that we can be certain. It is inevitable \u2013
and yet we rarely speak about it. We push it aside, treat it as a taboo \u2013
as something to be avoided, delayed, or denied.
But what if you only had a short time left to live?<\/p>\n

Oda al Libro<\/strong><\/h1>\n

A dance performance by the Totalitarian Body Collective, directed by Anton Rudakov<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In Oda al Libro<\/em>, the international Totalitarian Body Collective<\/em> explores the cultural and emotional significance of the book. Blending dance, music, and installation, the piece becomes a poetic homage to the written word\u2014its transience, its material presence, and the endless variety of interpretations it invites.<\/p>\n

When We Collide<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Choreography by Alessio Damiani<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

When We Collide<\/em> explores the imprint of an embrace\u2014one that is longed for, remembered, and desperately needed. It begins with absence: a missing embrace that resonates in the body like the trace of something once deeply felt. As the movement unfolds, the search for this lost connection becomes increasingly urgent, almost unbearable. What begins as a gentle memory turns into a necessity\u2014a physically palpable longing.
The piece reaches its climax in a powerful collision\u2014an embrace so intense it borders on destruction.<\/p>\n

AS THE WIND TAKES ME<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Choreography by Marcos Novais<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cI feel my body being taken over, lifted from the ground like a leaf carried by the wind.
I cannot control it, I cannot stop it.
It grows and expands, lifting me higher\u2014faster, stronger\u2014
just as the emotions within me rise and unfold.\u201d<\/p>\n

CLASSICAL<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Zoe de Torres Curt, Maria Mu\u00f1iz, Manon Veenstra, Luc\u00eda Valero<\/strong><\/h3>\n

CLASSICAL explores connection \u2013 with oneself, with another person, or with something greater than we are. It lingers in the quiet, fragile moments in which we choose to trust, to lean in, or to surrender, and in the multilayered emotions that rise to the surface in the process.<\/p>\n
