S(RIVER)ALUR
S(RIVER)ALUR is an interaction between dance and acrobatics.
The hall is a place where new exhibitions come about, where inspiration plays with the mind, emotions reach a climax and where hopes of changing the world through art are created. What are its profound secrets? And how will the magic that this space possesses be created?
In the work S(Á)ALUR, you can no doubt find the answer to that. The work is a definite reflection of what happens within the hall, the space that has long been considered a haven for many artists.

S(RIVER)ALUR is an interplay between dance and aerial gymnastics art.
The studio is a place where new performances are born, inspiration plays with the mind, emotions reach their peak, and hopes of changing the world through art are born. What are its profound secrets? And how does the magic that this space possibilities come about?
The answer to that can undoubtedly be found in the work S (Á)ALUR. The work is a certain reflection of what happens inside the studio, the space that has long been considered a sacred place for many artists.
