This performance is inspired by different dance experiences like coaching project with Nigel Charnock and Peeping Tom Collective (Gabriela Carizzoo i Franck Chartier) and also by literature: “Wave” written by Virginia Woolf, “Ophelia’s Death” by Stanislaw Wyspianski and several works written by Aglaja Veteranyi.
