an experimental entertainment. Based on a story of
the old cruise ship that voyages in the ocean of timelessness.

Found in translation (coproduction) '' 2017
I just want to be liked.
Found in translation is a dance project that explores the meanings that are lost, overlooked, found or added in our subjective interpretations of the information we receive in everyday communication. Through a movement method which allows free association of the body Kristina and Ferndando are searching for those elements in our communication that remain hidden. They are trying to create a place where personal and interpersonal finally meet.
