New York-based dancer and choreographer Lee Serle contributes her extensive experience in stage, site-specific, and intimate performances, while Colombian visual artist Mateo L\u00f3pez adds his multidisciplinary perspective focused on journeys, chance, and interconnected daily life events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>South African dancers Lorin Sookool and Grant van Ster will perform alongside Zbib and Serle, creating a truly international artistic exchange. The collaboration represents the successful outcome of the Rolex Perpetual Arts Initiative\u2019s mentoring program, demonstrating how global artistic networks can foster meaningful creative partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The performance creates an ever-shifting landscape and architecture of frames, revealing and concealing fictional characters and moving bodies.
