nowhere

© K-H Mierke

nowhere is a dance collage of images and stories that dissolves the boundaries between reality and imagination.
By combining dance and object manipulation, the piece creates a multi-layered stage language inspired by surrealist art.
At the heart of nowhere lies the power of dreaming—as a means to adopt new perspectives, break free from fixed ideas, and view the world with childlike curiosity.
Transformation and impermanence are central themes. nowhere explores the constant metamorphosis of our bodies and surroundings.
In a world that demands clarity, nowhere advocates for ambiguity, curiosity, and the courage to see reality from different perspectives.
Especially in times of uncertainty and negativity, dreaming becomes an essential force—one that drives us, inspires us, and gives us hope.

Because only those who dream can create new worlds!

Press:

“It is a body from a dream world in which the tried and tested methods of locomotion do not seem to work… In 60 minutes, “nowhere” manages to bring the bizarreness and witty illogic of dreams to the stage. With magic tricks, flexible body and expressive tension, Cristiana Casadio creates a collage that describes the power of the inner fantasy world.”
Maria Ladopoulos in Tanzschreiber Magazine
