Info
In “MOVEMENTS OF SOUL,” YAV brings together the dynamic worlds of dance, music, and fashion to create a unique and immersive experience.
YAV has deliberately chosen not to describe his piece to question our preconceived notions and conditioning, as we often find ourselves entangled in the confusion of distinguishing the message from the messenger. YAV encourages viewers to explore and interpret the performance in their own way to spark conversations about how we perceive and understand art.
“MOVEMENTS OF SOUL” is an opportunity for a layered, individualised experience.
It’s a reminder that art doesn’t always need words to convey meaning—sometimes, the most profound conversations arise from the unspoken, the unscripted, and the beautifully ambiguous.
