Mehri\/Boy<\/h4>\n

\u201cMehri\u201d<\/em>\u00a0is a performance at the intersection of dance, theater, and cricket. Dance artist and performer Sudesh Adhana (based in Oslo, originally from India), in collaboration with director Pia Maria Roll, is developing a solo performance that draws on the movements and context of cricket.

DRYADES & OREIADES<\/h4>\n

DRYADES & OREIADES \u2013 Is a search in the transition from an anthropocentric to a posthuman approach in the hope that the effect will spread in other aspects of our consumer life.

The main idea is \u201chow can these hybrid beings coexist with other species (animals and birds) on equal terms? Unlike some people who consider themselves the owners of land and all life!\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][cz_gap height=”100px”][vc_single_image image=”1039″ img_size=”600×400″ onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/xproarts.com\/index.php\/nocturnal\/”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
