Joshua Monten Dance Company: Romeo, Romeo, Romeo
How to find a partner in the time of Tinder? 4 Romeos amongst them 1 woman and everybody in audience becomes a Julia.

Luna Cenere: Kokoro
Kokoro in Japanese means internal being and unity of a heart and reason. Luna becomes a modern Melusine under the moonshine that thrills and disturbs us at the same time while her body transforms into a sculpture of a disjointed bliss.

Ela Lipanović: I prefer not to / Herman Melville
My time is passing by right now, right in this place. My irreversible time, leaving forever and getting lost among papers and books. This is not a place where I want to spend my life, I know that very well. But what is it that something to which I want to devote all my attention, all my efforts and energy?

The most sacred was valid as tabu, just as the filthiest.
