Festivalino 2024: Reunited in dance - Simbiosi

Festivalino 2024: Reunited in dance - Simbiosi

Inspiring the next generation

The gala production Simbiosi was staged by the remarkable company 'Reunited in Dance', a star-studded ensemble of dancers impacted by the war in Ukraine.

Led by Xander Parish OBE, a former principal dancer at the Mariinsky Ballet in Saint Petersburg, the company features Russian and Ukrainian dancers who were previously part of Russia’s most elite dance companies. 

Simbiosi hopes to show that dialogue and reconciliation can still be found in dance and art.
