NEON BEIGE
by Alen Nsambu (Finland)
17:15 – at Kulturni Dom Gorizia
In NEON BEIGE, the performer-choreographer Alen Nsambu braids memories, dreams, and desires into a solo that reimagines visibility, identity, and representation.
The stage becomes a portal: a space where the inner landscapes leak out. By deconstructing dominant structures, objects and gestures transform into thresholds, opening pathways to alternative ways of being. At its core, NEON BEIGE carves out space for multiplicity and agency, where a singular gaze dissolves into infinite possibilities of becoming.
Saturated with diverse performative registers, NEON BEIGE flows through states of transformation, unfolding into something that disrupts, reimagines, and creates space for the yet unknown.
