Friday May 13, Crossing Dreams – TNT/Atalaya (SPN) @ ExploreZ Festival

TNT/Atalaya is a fabulous company from Seville, Andalusia. The performance ‘Crossing Dreams’ was created by the well-known choreographer Juana Casado and eleven young performers with a refugee history, living in Spain. The energetic performance is a combination of dance, capoeira and circus, in which the young performers, who have put their lives at risk for a better existence, share their experiences and dreams with the audience. Why did they leave their home country? How did they do that? And what do they want to accomplish in this new country?

On stage, the dancers, who come from different countries, share their personal experiences and reveal their daily problems. They emphasize the importance of personal motivation and solidarity with each other in order to start over in Spain. Their dreams guide them and give them strength, like a light in the dark.

The performance was created as part of the European project FATE (Future Academy on Tour in Europe). The opening night of this performance will take place during Explorez Festival 2022 on Friday 13 May at ZID Theater (Amsterdam). Tickets are available here
They will also perform in the OBA Oosterdok on Sunday 15 May in a double bill with the performance NO FEAR by ZID Theater.
