This creation is the first joint work of established artists Hannes Langolf and Ermira Goro. After 9 years of performing together, this work marks a departure point towards artistic collaboration as directors. Their shared passion is to create meaningful work that sits in the subtle space between reality and metaphor, closely connected to life and its stories.

“With DANDELION we want to dive into the inner world of our human obstacles and inhibitions and find a way to reveal the joy of stepping over our own thresholds or celebrating even the mere attempt. ​​It was important to us to use this platform to experiment with a new approach for both of us and to go on a mutual journey of collaboration with an open mind and spirit, starting from a place of human connection. ​We very much saw this project as a devised piece, drawing from the stories of our performers and ourselves.

It feels that more and more we live in a world where the time and patience for human connection and inner sensitivity is becoming a precious value and something that needs a more conscious decision to hold on to and contribute. We talked a lot about how an honest relationship with the people around us can make us go beyond our own insecurities and obstacles and make us more courageous, a fuller version of ourselves and therefore experience life just that little bit more glorious”.
