Orion's Belt - National School of Dance (KSOT) Young Choreographers
Darkness is hurled with a voiceless cry, a shadow that became a weight, an indelible mark. With a hand reaching out— that holds— never letting me go, without suffocating, without hurting. A path— a step that measures time, a step that erases fear. Where the weight becomes breath, and presence becomes refuge.

Orion's Belt - National School of Dance (KSOT) Young Choreographers
Darkness is hurled with a voiceless cry, a shadow that became a weight, an indelible mark. With a hand reaching out— that holds— never letting me go, without suffocating, without hurting. A path— a step that measures time, a step that erases fear. Where the weight becomes breath, and presence becomes refuge.
A work inspired by lived experiences. How can a human bond pull you out of the swamp of wounds? The very wounds that dragged you into it. That manipulated you and wore you down. How then can it redeem you and become the light that helps you blossom again? Brighter, more colorful… How does this presence become your companion in life? Through hardships, through joys. With movement inspired by sensations and emotions. With music that translates into what you once felt. How does all this take you back to your younger self? To that innocent, pure, and hope-filled self. The one who listened to a fairy tale or a lullaby from a familiar, homely voice, and slowly fell asleep in the arms of the one who made it feel so safe.
