The full-length performance of “Girls&Boys” will be presented for the first time in Italy during the Visavì Gorizia Dance Festival. It is described as a playful and provocative performance that overturns gender dynamics and roles. In this national premiere, what do you most want to convey/tell the audience?
I want to tell the audience to be kind to one another, to discover patience in challenging moments, to question their patterns, to get friendly with the unknown, to let go of sacred cows, to rebel when needed, to compromise when needed, to get lost on purpose sometimes, to be aware of the value of boredom and that everything in and around us is temporary.

Tell us why we should come and see it:
You should come and see the show without question and regardless of how much pleasure it will give you or suffering it will cause you. You should come in order to support art in general and the form of contemporary dance specifically, which is something that is really needed in society.

As if you should explain it to a child: why have you started dancing?
Every time I was happy I felt the need to dance. Every time I heard music I felt the need to dance. Every time I felt sad or excited or bored or restless or angry or energetic - I felt the need to dance.
A piece of advice to a starting company:
