LiCHT (LiGHT)

SYNOPSIS

LiCHT (LiGHT) is a dance performance in which a dancer and an aerial acrobat play with reflections, colors, and perspectives.

Inspired by the magic of natural light—the sparkle of sunbeams on water, a rainbow in the sky—LiCHT takes the audience on a visual journey of discovery. As the performers move through the space, both on the floor and high above the stage, an intriguing interplay of shadow, reflection, and illusion unfolds.

Using mirrors and reflective materials, a dynamic play of concealment and revelation is created, involving both performers and audience in a unique interplay.
