EVENT DESCRIPTION

Five female dancers from different cities, meet on the same path. In that space between light and darkness, the reflection of the light leads the women through the tunnel of time. Through their personal experiences, they tell us of their evolution at different stages in their life and get us to feel their joys and their sorrows.

How would their path unfold?

The dance theatrical Womanhood explores the theme of changing identities over time from the female perspective, telling stories of our day-to-day lives. Five female dancers from different cities cross paths and walk through the tunnel of time. Through their personal experiences, they show the audience how they have evolved through different stages of their lives and the joy and sorrow that they feel.
