About

Between Olas weaves together visceral memories and experiences of the ocean to create a fable for its much needed protection and reverence. A celebration of the influence of traditional dance styles from the ensembles’ mixed cultural heritage, blended with urban and contemporary dance, audiences will be taken on a voyage that honors the unfathomable beauty and chaos of the sea. An enduring symbol of life itself, wave after wave after wave.

This is the first full-length work from NUDO (meaning knot in spanish), who work to strengthen their ties through dance, culture and friendship, so that they can survive the waves and even sail together on them. In a poignant twist their studio was destroyed in the recent floods whilst they were creating this show, a reminder of the depth of our interconnectedness.
