About this event
Discover a world where still images transform into motion. This surreal dance-theatre piece brings gallery images to life with curiosity, playfulness, and a bold reimagining of the unexpected.

Step into a world where the boundaries between canvas and choreography dissolve.
This performance doesn’t just interpret visual art—it reimagines, reframes, and throws it into motion with a surreal edge and a touch of theatrical mischief.

In this energetic and unpredictable dance-theatre work, performers respond to audience-made sketches and spontaneous images created before and during the show. These drawings—scribbles, shapes, or full scenes—are transformed in real time into movements, characters and moments on stage. The result is a constantly evolving piece that plays with the line between visual and live art.

It’s a celebration of play, perception, and the imagination’s ability to twist the familiar into something joyfully strange.

At its core, the piece is a creative loop—drawings inspire performance, and the performance sparks new imagery. It asks how movement can shift the way we see what’s on the page.
Expect surreal compositions, shifting images, and characters that feel like they’ve stepped out of a painting and into a dream. No two performances are the same—each is shaped by what the audience brings and what the dancers invent in the moment.

You draw, the dancers respond—but they also dream, distort, and dive headfirst into what art becomes when freed from the frame.

This is visual art unhinged—alive, chaotic, and joyfully surreal.
