In an energy packed collage about the zest for life and in the spirit of the youngest European nation, 13 dancers of the National Ballet of Kosovo reinterpret famous characters of classical ballet. Set to deep house sounds emanating from the club scene in Pristina, the choreography questions the aesthetic, social and societal constructions in classical ballet and at the same time makes use of the language of movement in order to create new choreographic forms of community and togetherness.
