Angelin Preljocaj is back with a powerful, communal new piece that brings together twelve performers to explore the energy of uprising. Inspired by revolutionary movements throughout history, the piece depicts bodies coming together, scattering and rising up again. A vibrant creation in which dance provides the language for a quest for freedom, fraternity and renewal.
