Performance Paradigm 

Paradigm Festival Performance, Groningen (2025)
During the Paradigm Festival performance, we collaborated with the performers from Alter a Go. The story revolves around two worlds: 
one of mermaids from the coastal region and the stereotypical perceptions surrounding them: women who are seductive, mysterious, and untrustworthy. 
The other world consists of water people who exist somewhere between humans and aquatic creatures. 
These two worlds met on terrain and discovered their differences and similarities through a long embrace in the middle 
of the festival and a dancing crowd.
The world may consist of different backgrounds, but we have more in common than we think. You understand this when
 you find each other, discover each other, give each other space, and listen to one another.
