About the show

Combining dance, live music by Tiezerk and visual art, the work gives voice to stories of forced displacement, longing and resilience. Inspired by the roughness of stone and the honesty of ancient refugee songs, the choreography transforms pain into movement. A contemporary dance performance that draws on both physical and musical traditions to explore what it means to be displaced.
Why see this show?
A deeply felt dance and live music piece from Armenia's first contemporary dance company — the choreography translates stories of displacement into movement with rawness and dignity. Powerful and accessible from age twelve.
