AXIS redefines dance & disability.

Desiderata

Choreographed by award-winning Spanish Choreographer Asun Noales, Desiderata explores the idea of ​​desire as something universal and intimate at the same time.

Epiphany of the being that looks, listens, vibrates and touches another body. Universe that is revealed by discovering the other.
