1st act: MAKE A WISH by Anton Laschky:
Make a Wish, guides us on a wondrous path into the world of Surrealism. The movement of the dancers draws a motive and landscape encompassing a surreal image delving into the inner depths of our own sensations, altering our understanding of what our reality is or might be and how we can interact with it. Creating new means by which we measure our own reality, the audience will twist and turn through the piece morphing into a new world; enjoying a show that is both enticing and entertaining for the viewer.

2nd act: UKIYO by Blenard Azizaj:
“UKIYO” in Japanese, means “floating world”.
For Buddhists it means “world full of sorrow”: it is a word for the endless cycle of rebirth, life, suffering, death, and rebirth which Buddhists seek to escape. An ensemble involving the bodies of 8 dancers, who perform a series of movements, sharing the same physicality, feelings and sorrows. The place where we strive to accept who we are; where we attempt to seek out the pathways we could not or did not dare to walk: the place where memories haunt us.
