DODAI – A Juggling, Dance & Theatre Experiment

"DODAI" is a neologism of the Italian words "do" (I give) and "dai" (you give), embodying the essence of exchange, interdependence, and shared existence.

This performance brings together seven individuals navigating the tensions between mine and yours, personal and collective, habit and transformation. Through a dynamic interplay of juggling, dance, and theatre, "DODAI" explores the invisible forces that shape our relationships—both with each other and with the societies we inhabit.

As social beings, we depend on community to grow, yet true progress often requires challenging established norms. When does society function in harmony? When do we follow traditions simply because "it has always been this way"? And when do we dare to break free, offering new ways of existing?

"DODAI" is an invitation to question, to move, and to reimagine what we must share to create a better world.
