mini CELLULA
A dance and acrobatics project for children, exploring trust, balance, and togetherness through play. Based on the performance CELLULA, it brings a mobile wooden structure into schools and kindergartens — a shifting stage where children build living sculptures together and experience that they carry each other. → click image for more info

in creation
a celebration of life. And you are invited
A hug, a touch— sometimes light and fragile, sometimes powerful, offering support. Three bodies lean, breathe, rise, glide. What force opens their paths? Suddenly you are no longer just a spectator. You feel the tension in your own body, sense height, gravity, risk. They climb upward: a handstand on a narrow wooden beam; higher still, onto the other’s body. A moment larger than words can carry. CELLULA is a room without walls: bodies on wood. bodies on bodies. A place where two spaces meet and something new begins. Between closeness and openness, life emerges.
