Keijaun Thomas – @Keioui
Performances that are both confronting and caring. Striking, sad, yet joyful.

Korallia Stergides – @Aillarok
Improvising characters into absurd stories. Playful and weird.

Absurd, unsettling and funny. Interacting with sculptural objects as body substitutes.
Rosa Johan Uddoh – @Rosa_Johan
Political and deadpan (my fav combo). Complicating language and interrogating institutions.

Big stage installations with ingenious chain reaction creations and intriguing creatures.

Yuki Kobayashi – @YukiKobayashi0226
I like it when something that appears silly is taken deadly seriously by the performer.
