A world premiere showcasing a unique collaboration: a compelling fusion of movement and visual art-between choreographer Rena Butler and artist Brice Esso.

Inspiration:

International choreographer Rena Butler's new work for the DAP Festival's Annual Gala 2025 has been a collaboration with Ivorian artist Brice Esso. Inspired by Rick Moody's short story Boys, Butler reimagines the coming-of-age narrative from a female perspective. The performance explores themes of constant flow, synchronicity, dissonance, and the tension between internal and external landscapes. It reflects on human connection and detachment, questioning when we lose our childlike curiosity and how we navigate life's continuous transformations.
