RU(i)NS is a dance-theatre piece that captures fragments of our trembling, fragile world. It reflects the crisis of displaced bodies—exiled, searching for fleeting moments of serenity. These moments depict a fractured society striving to resist and remain united. The piece explores bodies in search of the core of their history, reconstructing amidst deconstruction.
A no-man’s-land stretches beneath us and within us. How many borders must we cross to find a place called home? How many stones must we carry to build a new life? How many circles must we trace to uncover buried histories?
