Dance Changes Us

’A Call To You’ is Catherine Young Dance’s latest work emerging from the urgency of the incomprehensible times we are living in. It is a call to come together, a call to explore the fragility and friction of community. 

Featuring a cast of outstanding international performers, with live music directed by Young’s long-time collaborator Martin Schärer and inspired by Ukrainian folk dance traditions, ’A Call To You’ is a fervent celebration of life, togetherness and dance. It offers an antidote to division, the imagery of war and the endless rhetoric of politics. As words fail, the body speaks – untamed and unapologetic.
