This performance is the story of a contemporary dancer's journey to India that left her transformed

For young choreographer Laura Arend, the world is her home. Born in France where she received her early training, she moved to the US in 2009 when she was 18. After establishing herself as a professional in New York, she joined a dance company in Israel. But it was in 2014, when Arend arrived in India to obtain a teaching qualification in yoga, that she found herself stirred from within. "This trip changed my life profoundly. I felt the deep culture shock that many travellers talk about, leaving them with an experience forever graven on their hearts. Back home, you start to question your connection to life, to death and to our constant quest for happiness," says Arend.
