Virginia "Aura" Lewerissa

P.O.V.

How do I see you? How do you see me? How do I see myself?

P.O.V. brings together four dancers who share a common background yet perceive the world in different ways. A moving interplay of closeness, misunderstandings and connection emerges between how we see ourselves and how others see us. In the encounter between Krump and hip-hop, emotions and memories become physically visible. P.O.V. tells of the desire to truly see one another – and of the fact that every perception carries its own truth.
