Performance synopsis
The performance aspires to be a fusion between theatrical dance and street dance, showing the multidimensionality of movement, regardless of style. It plays with the boundaries of street dance and contemporary choreography. The mixture of all these elements creates a combo that has never been seen before in Poland. The performance is suitable for children, although it was created with the adult audience in mind.
