My Dance
Deep inside every new born baby is a rhythm, a movement opening like a flower. On the way to adulthood we lose that something - and we start looking to find it again. We long to reconnect with our own rhythms again. Chandra needs to find her path in life. She disguises herself in the dance. And in her dance she meets and confronts herself and her dreams, desires and fears.
My Dance is about finding one’s identity, from birth to adulthood. The play will be performed for the first time during the Dockor i Norr Festival.
