RECOMMENDED FOR NASA fans and those who dream of living on the Moon

A journey of music and dance into the self. In a time filled with haste and chaos, the moon becomes a metaphorical place where we can meet ourselves, look at ourselves in the light, but also touch the less illuminated depths of our inner selves.
In this performance, dominated by dualities—music and dance, light and darkness, structured order and pure lightness— dancers Marius Pinigis and Andrius Stakelė embark on a journey into their inner and outer cosmos.
