The TORNADO, as a natural phenomenon, is a metaphor for a devastating, inevitable movement. Tornado enchants with its power, strength and omnipotence, fascinates, hypnotizes, dominates and absorbs. Tornado subjects everything to a unifying movement.
The idea of the performance "Tornado" is to initiate artistic synergy by combining different artistic practices in one process around contemporary dance. The creators reveal “By reconstructing the tornado as an artistic process, we hope to experience kinaesthetic shifts, sensory transformations, and perceptual transformations in dance. At the epicentre of this process we expect to see the formation of a whole from fragments and elements, focusing our attention on a holistic vision of art.”
The artistic team offers visitors the choice to watch the performance as a spectator or engage in a unifying movement. The performance will take place continuously for 4 hours, but the visitor is given the opportunity to choose which part of the performance to watch.

Viewers are asked to choose one specific time to visit: at 18:00, 19:00, 20:00 or 21:00 of this durational performance.
Prices - 12 EUR and 10 EUR with the discount.
