/Unitile

Eleven stateless artists and citizens of the 21st century seek the causes of their drifting. They discover the source of some current sorrows in the underlying thoughts and lost gestures of the 19th century’s final throes - and find a remedy: an unpredictable, regenerating dance without borders.
