ORB is a mythological dance duet that ignites the cosmos, exploring the tension between connection and distance. Athletic, emotive, and filled with joy, this thrilling performance delves into the struggle of being together while still apart.

When the light between two souls flickers, and the pull to transcend limits and explore the unknown becomes irresistible, how do we find balance in a world that never stops moving? ORB weaves together explosive physicality, breathtaking partner work, and martial arts-inspired movements, creating a stunning visual tapestry set to a hauntingly emotive sound score.

This 20-minute duet is a mesmerizing journey, perfect for festivals, rural tours, and unconventional performance spaces.

Experience the power of connection, the beauty of tension, and the force of human spirit in ORB—a performance that captivates the senses and resonates long after the final movement.
