SACRED DISASTER is a choreographic and relational journey that explores the states of transformation in living beings through changing bodies, liminal spaces, and forms of collective presence. Navigating between intimacy, overflow, collapse, and play, the work seeks ways to remain connected to the world amidst uncertainty.
The project examines the tensions between humans and infrastructure, between ritual and daily life, and between contemporary solitude and a deep longing for community. The performers navigate states of vulnerability, friction, tenderness, rage, and reverence, as potential responses to the existential crisis of our time.
Through dance, song, text, and spatial composition, SACRED DISASTER transforms transitory spaces into sensitive territories, where the audience is invited to experience time, listening, and movement in a new way. The work conceives of performance as a quantum space: a space where multiple realities coexist, where the center shifts according to relationship, tension, and presence.
Part post-industrial ceremony, part post-apocalyptic playground, and part immersive experience, SACRED DISASTER offers an embodied reflection on what sets us in motion—and on the forms of beauty, chaos, and interdependence that emerge when we agree to be transformed togetherness.
