Homeless not Hopeless - The strength we don't see.
This project, for us, can be summarised in one sentence:
To face homeless people with respect, dignity, and decency. Communicated through dancing.
To send this as a message to the world, it is not about presenting the homeless person as a sad, lost, and suffering character. This is what we all see superficially every day and sadly this represents a "habitual image" for us. With this project, I wanted to represent the much more important part of a homeless person, the part that makes him or her persevere every day, which gives them the strength to carry on and not give up. The hope for improvement. Dreams.
