“How do we relate to the world today? How does the world express itself through us—move us—shape the very way we stand, fall, rise, and reach?

This choreographic draft arises from a field of questions and seeks to explore them by engaging with the trembling space where contradiction, complexity, and uncertainty exist.

Entering the world is not a choice we made. Yet here we are—shaped by history, situated within structures, caught in sightlines both near and distant. We are formed by the world just as much as we shape it. But how do we position ourselves in a reality we did not choose, yet which lives within us in multiple ways? Can we hold space for what unsettles us—without fleeing, fixing, or denying? How can we practice empathy, not as a solution or savior, but as a willingness to be moved?

This work explores our entanglement—not metaphorically, but materially—through air, image, sound, memory, and matter. It examines war and care, beauty and breakdown, what is close and what is far. It brings together opposites that exist in tension and tenderness.

in cite in site in sight is a choreographic reflection, a liminal space of becoming that invites us to pay attention, to linger with what disturbs or eludes us, and to practice seeing again, together.”
