ARTISTIC STATEMENT
The body, mind, space and elements in a sphere and time of kaleidoscopic research for communication, reflection, dialog and expression. Telling the stories, not about the stories. Performing it, not about it.
The nomadic dramaturgy, total art, the global in the local – the local in the global.
