Tag, You’re It!
What happens when we stop pretending things are fine and just move through the mess? In a world that feels increasingly unstable, we search for comfort in rituals, games, and touch—things meant to ground us, but now heavy with pressure, fear, and grief. It’s an emotional playground: chaotic, contradictory, and charged. Joy becomes frantic, laughter edges into hysteria, and the games we played as kids start to feel a little… off. Familiar, but not quite safe. It’s about the contradictions we carry, how something can be playful and terrifying at the same time. That edge is everywhere: in myself, in the people around me, in how we try to stay grounded while everything shifts beneath us. There’s so much talk of resilience, of returning to “normal,” but this work is more interested in what lies underneath that, how we live and continue with life through all the mess. It doesn’t offer neat resolutions, because in this world, the game doesn’t really end. It just keeps changing shape.

Women Like You, Like Me
Women Like You is a choreography piece that explores the layers within every woman— her masculine side, her vulnerable side, her rebellious side, her playful side, and her sensual side. The piece captures how these different aspects coexist, sometimes complementing one another, sometimes clashing in conflict. The piece offers a fresh and sometimes humorous perspective on the everyday struggles and strengths that many will recognize, hoping to leave the audience with a sense of shared experience and understanding.

Abate
ABATE delves into a universe where reality blurs, combining themes of hypnosis, intimacy, and emotional resonance. The unclear boundaries between oneself and others make us vulnerable to deception and disillusionment in an uncertain environment. This vulnerability drives us into a cycle, leading to feelings of disillusionment and the complexities of being physically and mentally entrapped, stuck in a loop, unaware of reality, living in a different realm, and searching for a new norm.
