SOUL MATES
THE SHOW

soul mates
Poetical performance without words
soul mates is a poetic ode to the joy of the Wild Child that every one of us has somewhere inside.
A cross between visual art and performance art, soul mates is an ode to the coming together of the human soul and its wild sisters, whose multiple forms are embodied in nature. It is also an ode to childhood, where living in the present moment, in one’s body and in one’s senses comes naturally.
In these times of great inner emptiness and information overload, soul mates dares to offer a moment of silence, beauty, and wonder, and invites audiences of all ages to experience a timeless experience.
