Music and physicality is inspired by a sense of ancient functional rituals and traditions. Mystic of a fictional history of human beings and its DNA imprints. The work connects us to deep sitting, raw, instinctual human feelings far away from today's social structures. 

LAST MAN STANDING is about the fallibility of our personal truths and perceptions, whichmakes us stumble and often tears us apart. This fallibility though might be important as a ground on which creativity can emerge. Our brain's ability to forget makes old ideas appear in a new light and in a different context. The visual, dynamic and energies of moving bodies in my work allow dancers and viewers to discover a barely touched realm of their existence and experience the unseen motivation behind all moving forces. A pulsating and tense space is to be created, which puts the audience in high, unceasing inner excitement and lets them experience the power and ability of body, mind and movement. 

“ I am offering the audience an emotionally involved journey; touching that state of sincere inner determination that enables us to move mountains."
