LIF - studio

Shows

Lif is an intense male duo that draws on the myth of the end of the world to tell the story of the power of rebirth. Amidst eternal winters, cosmic battles and universes reduced to ashes, the bodies give shape to the journey of two survivors, Líf and Lífthrasir, the last guardians of life. The dance traverses destruction and hope, memory and future, transforming the end into possibility. A physical and emotional work that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the ability to rebuild, step by step, a new beginning.
