REALITY IS ROUND

Through movement, light, sound, and form, the performance explores human connection and encounters beyond language. We bounce and rest in an echo, make sounds, and roll over a dark sea. The performance assumes that language can never capture reality as it is, as concepts are angular while REALITY IS ROUND.

REALITY IS ROUND is a participatory dance performance for children aged 6 months - 2 years and their adults. Two dancers and a musician invite you into an imaginative space that sparks curiosity and creates space for encounters among everyone participating in the work. The audience enters the space, and the performers follow and support. Through attentive listening to what happens in the room, no performance is like the other.
