Brief description

"Take care of your body, it is the only place you have to live" JIm Rohn

"Div'in" is an immersive, multi-sensory dance theater piece that explores the intrinsic value of the human body in contemporary society. At its core, the production poses a fundamental question: What does it truly mean to honor and cherish our bodies? Through a captivating fusion of physical movement and theatrical narrative, "Div'in" seeks to weave together the diverse body biographies of three performers and a live musician, inviting audience members to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery.

The structure and spatial design of "Div'in" are carefully crafted to ensure that participants are fully engaged in a sensory exploration. As the host and guide, I lead the audience through an evening of immersive experiences, alongside the talented performers. The performance space itself is transformed into a dynamic landscape, meticulously arranged to envelop visitors in a tapestry of sensations, enhancing their connection to the themes explored.

Central to the experience of "Div'in" is the emphasis on kinesthetic sensory engagement, fostering a deep sense of immersion for all participants. Through thoughtful design and attention to detail, the space is curated to facilitate a journey through the senses, inviting visitors to embrace the beauty and complexity of the human body.
