Performance synopsis

‘8m68’ was created in 2012 for the Polish National Ballet. In 2019, it premiered in United States in Kansas City and Cincinnati with Moving Arts. The general concept of the work is based on the relationships between dancers. There is dominance, tenderness, hope and longing for harmony and cohesion against a snowy landscape.
