YIN-YANG is a multidisciplinary dance performance exploring the dynamics of power, conflict, and imbalance between the individual and society. A poetic composition of dance, music, text, and projection, the piece uses the contrast between black and white to express the experiences of individuals and the world, confronting the complex realities and our current relationship with the world in which we live.
The production has been showcased in Germany, New Zealand, Italy, and Tanzania. The international tour for this production is currently in progress, with an extensive tour planned for 2025-2027.
