Trust

Trust is at the core of our existence, defining our relationships and our outlook on life.

But what does it really mean? Do we dare to surrender to trust in a world where mistrust often prevails?

Trust unravels the complexity of trust in all its facets.

The performance is danced by five dancers and accompanied by the enchanting voice of Spanish singer Paloma Lazaro Arteaga. In breathtaking duets, the performers show how trust can be built, broken and regained, while taking the audience on a journey full of strength and vulnerability.

In Indian philosophy and society, trust is about letting go of the urge to want to control everything. It requires an inner journey, turning inwards to discover your core and strength. Only then can you face the world with courageous steps and make informed choices. The Hindu concept of Maya, the veil of illusions, and the 'six healing sounds meditation' from Taoism, underpin the choreography.

The visually very attractive performance is completed thanks to a new composition by Simone Giacomini. The rhythm of the Lotus Sutra, the Japanese mantra 'Nam-myoho-renge-kyo', is employed for the music. The poetry of Spanish poet Pedro Salinas is used as a metaphor for trust and used as a guideline for the singing. But writers like Isabel Allende (Chile) and Alessandro Baricco (Italy) are also great sources of inspiration. In short, expression splashes off the stage.
