“The setting of my choreography is a circus tent. A place where constantly migrating artists can find a station for a moment. For this story i was inspired by the Greek legend “Orpheus & Euridice”. Besides the tragic love story of this legend, for me it's all about believing in something you can't see, something that's elusive.
You need a lot of inner strength and blind faith for that, something that Orfeo is missing..”
