A dance performance that’s built like a TV series. The adaptation of “Cliffhanger” – that moment of greatest tension just before the credits begin and we long for the next episode – and of the pull of TV series to a contemporary dance performance. A look at the dance stage from the perspective of a TV series.

A performance series for the millennial generation, about the co-existence/influence of virtual identities and spaces in the “real” realm.
