RUPTURE PERSEPHONE

Rupture Persephone focuses on the reflections of the dark landscapes of the Human, upon the myth of Persephone. Two selves, of light and darkness, an entire universe in a minimal representation, at the dividing line of light and shadow. The piece has been premiered in 2015 at Ramallah Contemporary Dance Festival and it has been presented since then in 12 countries worldwide.
