Oktawia Ścibior & Samory Ba (France)

Within A Thousand Suns is a choreographic duet developed over four years of radical experimentation with inline skates and crutches. Drawing on the unique mechanics of gliding, the piece unveils a hybrid dance language shaped by the performers’ atypical mobility and reflects on the conscious and unconscious forces that shape human behavior and interaction.
