Humanhood ∞ {Infinite}
Description
∞ {Infinite} is Julia and Rudi’s first Dance Theatre Meditation in which they guide the audience through a mystical journey. The outside world of the magical dance on stage merges with your internal awareness. The premise is movement and consciousness, becoming aware of the infinite power that flows to and through us, giving life to all beings. This is the first production where they explicitly bring together their shamanic powers to fuse with their signature choreographic language. During this Dance Theatre Meditation, you will receive energetic transmissions both through words and movement, channeled by Julia and Rudi and embodied by the stunningly fluid dancers. The cosmic tribe on stage was formed through an intensive time in the dance studio as well as sacred rituals in nature, connecting beyond the physical realm. ∞ {Infinite} opens a door through which the audience is invited to tap into the infinity we all contain within.
