Dynamo explores pure raw energy within a time and space of passive bodies and excessive conceptualism. Movement that fills us with momentum, joy, and an inner dynamo. The kind that makes you want to dance along. The kind that leaves you happily out of breath. Musical, open, breathing, contagious, simple, together.
