ZŌ — Nederlands Dans Theater

Naharin werkte voor ZŌ samen met DJ en componist Tai Rona en ze creëerden een meeslepende dans- en geluidservaring in de intieme ruimte, waar er geen afstand meer is tussen publiek en danser. Het publiek dompelt zich in ZŌ volledig onder in de wereld van Naharin, vol theatraliteit, meertalige zang, dynamiek en menselijkheid.
