    • The project Henotic: how to live together? parts from a burning question in four independent artists' minds. As choreographers, we are especially intrigued by the tensions of contemporary crises and the temporary communities that they produce. From the urgency to unite and independently organize performance programs in response to the scarcity in the field of live arts – we look at ways to physically question and expand upon the concept of live-ness.
