“This is a ballet about humanity, first of all, about the uniqueness of each person.
I work with a group of dancers and each of them has its own character, its own energy, its own soul. This ballet is about Unity and it’s called UNIO.
For me now this is a very relevant topic of creativity, and in this performance I want to talk about how important it is to be close to loved ones, no matter what, support each other and walk together along this difficult but wonderful life path.

I am very happy to work with Vasks music, it is so unique and creates a whole universe of images within the mind.
I immediately saw the structure of the ballet in this music, which rarely happens to me as a choreographer.»
