Overview:

This sculptural and hypnotic ballet choreographed by Juliano Nunes in 2020 explores what it means to be connected: 

"All the while, our connection continues to slowly pulsate in and out, like a heartbeat, the connection that keeps us all growing.

the simplicity of being present with humanity and getting inspired by each other. We are offered a window into this world

A body and a mind.

I'm holding onto our story simply by a piece of invisible string.

Are we fated to cross paths once again?

Connected."
